(Reuters) - Alphabet's YouTube and Grammy-winning composer Maria Schneider said in a court filing on Sunday that they agreed to dismiss Schneider's San Francisco federal lawsuit accusing the video-sharing site of enabling the piracy of her works.

A trial in the copyright infringement case had been set to begin on Monday. YouTube and Schneider agreed to end the case with prejudice, which means it cannot be refiled.
