The U.S. Court of Appeals upheld its October 2008 ruling that Warner Bros. Pictures did not break copyright law in the making of "We Are Marshall".
The producers of the 2002 documentary "Ashes to Glory" claimed that the filmmakers originally offered them roles as consultants on the film then later broke the contract.
Deborah Novak and John Witek were asking for $40 million in copyright infringement damages.
According to court records, the U.S. District Court in California conducted an in depth analysis of the two works and concluded that both works were original.
