Equisource, which runs RealtyCity.net, was determined to have wilfully and intentionally infringed on the Association's copyrights in numerous forms by unauthorised reproduction, preparation of derivative works, distribution and display of such forms in connection with the site.
"[The Association's] standard forms are the most widely used legal documents for the purchase and sale of residential real estate in California," said its President, Robert Bailey. "These forms belong to our members and, as such, it's illegal for anyone to copy [an Association] form for their own financial benefit."
