An A.F.N. Presentation

Short lived bootleg concern. In MILLER v. GOODY (March 16, 1956), we learn that "some time in 1951, defendant Joseph Krug, a phonograph record salesman, came into possession of certain acetate disks recording propaganda radio broadcasts made by Glenn Miller and orchestra when Mr. Miller was a major in the United States Army during World War II. Krug tape-recorded the selections on those disks, and from the tapes he made the matrices, plates, molds, stamps, etc., necessary for the manufacture of records; then, doing business as the A. F. N. Record Company, he commenced to manufacture and sell two ten inch longplay records of the Miller performance." Furthermore, "the plaintiffs proceeded first against Krug, and on October 5, 1954, the publisher plaintiffs made a motion for a default judgment against Krug who had failed to answer their complaint or take any other steps with respect to it. The default was granted, and by its terms, Krug was enjoined from infringing the musical copyrights involved."
