- holding that defendant’s conversion claim over royalties and copyright was not preempted by the Copyright Act but declining to reach the argument whether “conversion claims may only be brought in connection with tangible property”
- breach of contractual promises to pay and allegations of converted royalties not preempted
- plaintiffs copyright infringement claims were not preempted by Federal law because they integrated extra elements beyond mere reproduction, such as a breach of a promise, fraud, misrepresentation, and conversion
- misrepresentation would allow G. L. c. 93A claim to survive preemption
