Hi I would like a detailed copy of the details regarding the copyright infringement case of this article
"In a Nov. 17, 2020 decision, Judge Ethel Mercado-Gutay found EdCrisch International Inc. (EdCrisch) and its Singapore-based partner Alkem Company liable of copyright infringement after discovering that a significant portion of one of its textbooks, “Pilipinas: Isang Sulyap at Pagyakap,” was copied from “Panahon Kasaysayan at Lipunan: Kasaysayan ng Pilipinas,” published by the University Press of First Asia (UPFA).

The court ordered EdCrisch and Alkem to stop the publication, distribution"
