United States Sixth Circuit

The definition of "Advertising Injury" applied to excess liability coverage for liability arising out of copyright violation, and where the insurer never gave insureds notice that it had narrowed the scope of its "Advertising Injury" coverage, Michigan's renewal rule obligates the insurer to provide broader coverage for the copyright claims.
