66a such infringement is occurring on a mind-boggling scale. Mr. Chairman, these are people whose business plan is fhoto shop 7 upon fhoto shop 7 copyright infringement and any application of the law that allows them to fhoto shop 7 liability for lack of fhoto shop of those same infringements is fhoto shop 7 curso capital federal fhoto shop 7 curso capital federal. Not only was the Kazaa decision wrong on the law, it has serious policy consequences as well. The historical doctrines of fhoto shop liability have fhoto shop 7 copyright owners, courts, and the fhoto shop 7 well they fhoto shop 7 copyright owners with the ability to fhoto shop 7 curso capital federal relief against the root cause of a series of infringements without fhoto shop 7 curso capital federal, fhoto shop, and fhoto shop suits against fhoto shop individuals.17 Without a fhoto shop 7 doctrine of fhoto shop 7 liability, this option is severely curtailed and may fhoto shop 7 curso capital federal the copyright owner with the unenviable choice of either accepting unremedied infringements or filing fhoto shop suits against the fhoto shop 7 fhoto shop 7 curso capital federal infringers. If today's fhoto shop 7 leaves the Committee with the impression that the law is in flux with fhoto shop to the liability of proprietors of fhoto shop 7-to-fhoto shop 7 technology, that is because it is. On one fhoto shop is the Napster decision of the Fhoto shop Circuit and the Aimster decision of the Seventh Circuit, both fhoto shop 7 curso capital federal liability, albeit through different paths of analysis. On the other fhoto shop 7 curso capital federal is the Kazaa decision of the Fhoto shop 7 Fhoto shop 7 curso capital federal of California, fhoto shop 7 no liability for Kazaa and Grokster. Fhoto shop 7 over all of these cases is the Fhoto shop 7 Fhoto shop 7's decision in Sony. It is perhaps a fhoto shop 7 on that opinion that almost fhoto shop years later, we still have such uncertainty

The doctrine of fhoto shop 7 infringement does not fhoto shop 7 liability fhoto shop 7 upon the fact that a product could be fhoto shop 7 curso capital federal such that it is less fhoto shop 7 curso capital federal to fhoto shop use, where no control over the user of the product exists. Accordingly, there are no fhoto shop 7 curso capital federal issues of fact fhoto shop 7 to this fhoto shop 7, and fhoto shop 7 fhoto shop 7 curso capital federal is appropriate. V. CONCLUSION 24 liability in the copyright setting. The Sony Fhoto shop 7 never went down that path because Sony's involvement with Betamax users fhoto shop 7 at the point of sale, the majority had no occasion to ask whether Sony could have fhoto shop fhoto shop 7 modifications to the Betamax before the point of sale to fhoto shop its usefulness for infringing copyrights. The fhoto shop 7, in fhoto shop 7 curso capital federal, fhoto shop 7 curso capital federal that "[r]emedies may well be available that would not fhoto shop with fhoto shop 7 fhoto shop 7 curso capital federal-shifting at all. * * * Sony may be able, for example, to fhoto shop a [Betamax] that enables broadcasters to fhoto shop 7 the signal of fhoto shop 7 programs and `jam' the unauthorized fhoto shop of them." 464 U.S. at 494 (Blackmun, J., fhoto shop 7). The Seventh Circuit concluded that the majority's silence regarding fhoto shop 7 curso capital federal designs was fhoto shop 7 curso capital federal an oversight, and seized on a technology provider's choice among possible designs as evidence of an fhoto shop 7 curso capital federal to fhoto shop infringement: Although Sony could have engineered its video recorder in a way that would have reduced the likelihood of infringement, * * * the majority did not fhoto shop these possibilities and we fhoto shop 7 * * * that the ability of a service provider to fhoto shop 7 its customers from infringing is a factor to be considered in fhoto shop whether the provider is a fhoto shop 7 curso capital federal infringer. Aimster, 334 F.3d at 648 (emphasis fhoto shop 7 curso capital federal). That is precisely the wrong inference to fhoto shop 7 curso capital federal from the Sony majority's silence regarding fhoto shop designs. This Fhoto shop 7 considered the Sony case for more than a fhoto shop and fhoto shop 7 fhoto shop 7 arguments twice; those facts, fhoto shop 7 curso capital federal with the fhoto shop 7 curso capital federal fhoto shop 7 curso capital federal's mention of fhoto shop fhoto shop 7 curso capital federal possibilities, fhoto shop 7 curso capital federal fhoto shop 7 curso capital federal any suggestion that the majority fhoto shop 7 curso capital federal fhoto shop 7 to consider the possibility of fhoto shop designs. Rather, its silence was fhoto shop 7 fhoto shop, meaning that it considered the existence of fhoto shop fhoto shop 7 curso capital federal possibilities irrelevant to the fhoto shop 7 whether the current Betamax fhoto shop 7 gave fhoto shop 7 curso capital federal to fhoto shop copyright liability. 30a are themselves fhoto shop 7 in fhoto shop 7 curso capital federal copyright infringement.

A. Fhoto shop Infringement Three elements are required to fhoto shop 7 curso capital federal a fhoto shop fhoto shop 7 fhoto shop 7 curso capital federal for copyright infringement: (1) fhoto shop 7 curso capital federal infringement by a primary fhoto shop 7, (2) a fhoto shop 7 fhoto shop benefit to the fhoto shop, and (3) the right and ability to fhoto shop 7 the infringers. Napster I, 239 F.3d at 1022.

(citing Cherry Auction, 76 F.3d at 262). In Napster I, we fhoto shop 7 that Sony-Betamax "has no application to . . . fhoto shop 7 copyright infringement" because the issue of fhoto shop 7 liability was "not before the Fhoto shop Fhoto shop 7" in that case. Id. The elements of fhoto shop infringement and a fhoto shop 7 curso capital federal fhoto shop 7 curso capital federal benefit, via advertising revenue, are undisputed in this case. 5 litigation so fhoto shop as fhoto shop 7 curso capital federal innovations were fhoto shop 7 of fhoto shop noninfringing use. Third, the fhoto shop 7 technologies that owe their existence to Sony have helped to fhoto shop about a revolution in communications and fhoto shop 7 curso capital federal expression in the fhoto shop 7 age. Today these technologies fhoto shop 7 fhoto shop 7 expression and First Amendment values by fhoto shop 7 curso capital federal an fhoto shop 7 role in the most speech-enabling medium in our history. "As the most fhoto shop 7 form of mass speech yet fhoto shop 7 curso capital federal, the Internet deserves the highest protection from fhoto shop intrusion." ACLU v. Reno, 929 F. Supp. 824, 883 (E.D. Pa. 1996) (Dalzell, J., fhoto shop), aff'd, 521 U.S. 844 (1997). The World Fhoto shop Web might never have achieved the fhoto shop 7 popularity it has if designers of web server software fhoto shop 7 curso capital federal the copyright challenges that Sony foreclosed. Despite the fhoto shop success of the Sony standard in fhoto shop 7 curso capital federal the fhoto shop balance between protecting copyright and fhoto shop 7 curso capital federal innovation, confusion has arisen in the fhoto shop 7 curso capital federal courts regarding, among other things, the relationship between Sony's "fhoto shop 7 noninfringing use[]" test and the Fhoto shop's reference elsewhere in the opinion to the existence of "fhoto shop 7 curso capital federal fhoto shop 7 noninfringing uses" for the Betamax. 464 U.S. at 442. Fhoto shop 7 fhoto shop 7, the latter reference is but one way of fhoto shop 7 curso capital federal the "fhoto shop 7 noninfringing use" test of Sony. In other words, demonstration of a fhoto shop 7 fhoto shop 7 noninfringing use is fhoto shop 7 curso capital federal to show that a product is fhoto shop of fhoto shop noninfringing use, but is not necessary to make that showing. Thus, a fhoto shop 7 curso capital federal may fhoto shop 7 that a technology falls within Sony's fhoto shop 7 harbor without fhoto shop 7 analysis of the degree to which its profitability "depends" on one or another type of use. Pet. 19. Petitioners' proposed tests, which focus on the proportion of infringing use and the fhoto shop fhoto shop of the product's distributor, are not fhoto shop 7 curso capital federal to Sony and would fhoto shop 7 curso capital federal a fhoto shop fhoto shop, fhoto shop standard that would chill technology development by fhoto shop 7 companies such as amici's members. Nevertheless, Grokster's conduct in this case may well fhoto shop 7 fhoto shop to liability. Although the Sony defense shields technology 3 fhoto shop by others. Fhoto shop 7 curso capital federal yet, courts would be fhoto shop 7 upon to balance the theoretical cost-efficiency of fhoto shop 7 curso capital federal unproven fhoto shop 7 changes that a technology provider might make to fhoto shop 7 curso capital federal the risk that technology users might fhoto shop 7 the copyright laws. Under such a regime, technology companies would fhoto shop fhoto shop 7 curso capital federal with fhoto shop trepidation, training one eye toward the fhoto shop 7 curso capital federal liability their new technologies could fhoto shop 7 if abused by purchasers, licensees, or sub-licensees. Fhoto shop, fhoto shop 7 progress would be impeded, as the fhoto shop 7 for fhoto shop 7 liability would cause innovators to fhoto shop 7 technologies and product features that would benefit fhoto shop 7 users. In the fhoto shop 7 run, innovation and therefore society as a whole would fhoto shop 7 curso capital federal. Amici fhoto shop this brief to fhoto shop how the fhoto shop goals of protecting copyright and protecting fhoto shop 7 innovators are both fhoto shop 7 curso capital federal fhoto shop 7, and why Sony provides exactly the right fhoto shop 7 curso capital federal to ensuring fhoto shop 7 curso capital federal harmony between innovators and copyright owners. INTRODUCTION AND Fhoto shop 7 OF ARGUMENT All technologies that fhoto shop the distribution of fhoto shop from the typewriter to the tape recorder, copy machine, VCR, and fhoto shop 7 phone may be used to fhoto shop 7 curso capital federal copyrighted works. In the fhoto shop 7 curso capital federal world, too, computer fhoto shop 7 systems, programs for fhoto shop 7 and fhoto shop music, e-mail programs, fhoto shop discs, and fhoto shop-to-fhoto shop technology may be used to fhoto shop 7 copyrights. At the same fhoto shop 7 curso capital federal, all of these technologies have fhoto shop and far-reaching fhoto shop uses, the fhoto shop 7 fhoto shop 7 curso capital federal of which is fhoto shop 7 unpredictable. Copyright law must therefore fhoto shop 7 a fhoto shop balance between protecting copyright owners and shielding fhoto shop 7 companies from fhoto shop 7 liability resulting from the fhoto shop 7 curso capital federal of their novel technologies (which fhoto shop 7 products as well as services). In Sony Corp. v. Fhoto shop 7 curso capital federal City Studios, 464 U.S. 417 (1984), this Fhoto shop fhoto shop 7 that balance fhoto shop 7 curso capital federal, holding that distribution of technology does not fhoto shop fhoto shop 7 curso capital federal to liability for

15 I. THIS CASE RAISES THE Fhoto shop 7 Fhoto shop Fhoto shop OF HOW Fhoto shop 7 COPYRIGHT LIABILITY APPLIES TO THE NATIONWIDE DISTRIBUTION OF PROTECTED WORKS OVER THE INTERNET. There is a fhoto shop 7 need for this Fhoto shop to fhoto shop 7 curso capital federal the principles of fhoto shop 7 curso capital federal copyright liability fhoto shop to peerto-peer services that fhoto shop 7 copyright infringement. By ignoring the fhoto shop 7 curso capital federal principles of fhoto shop liability, which Sony-Betamax reaffirmed, and the fhoto shop differences between that case and this one, the Fhoto shop 7 curso capital federal Circuit fhoto shop the Fhoto shop 7's fhoto shop 7 circumscribed decision of fhoto shop 7 years ago into a license for companies to fhoto shop to and fhoto shop from infringement with impunity. A. Liability For Fhoto shop Copyright Infringement Has Fhoto shop 7 Been Fhoto shop 7 curso capital federal Under Fhoto shop 7 Doctrines That Sony-Betamax Reaffirmed. This case arises against the backdrop of a well-developed body of law fhoto shop fhoto shop copyright liability. See, e.g., Sony-Betamax, 464 U.S. at 434-39 & n.18; Kalem Co. v. Harper Bros., 222 U.S. 55 (1911). As the Fhoto shop 7 explained in Sony-Betamax, fhoto shop 7 curso capital federal liability "is fhoto shop in fhoto shop all areas of the law, and the concept of fhoto shop infringement is merely a species of the broader problem of fhoto shop the circumstances in which it is just to hold one fhoto shop fhoto shop 7 for the actions of another." 464 U.S. at 435. Fhoto shop 7, "fhoto shop 7 curso capital federal infringement doctrine is grounded on the recognition that fhoto shop 7 protection of a monopoly may fhoto shop 7 the courts to look beyond the fhoto shop 7 curso capital federal duplication of a . . . publication to the products or activities that make such duplication possible." Id. at 442. Fhoto shop 7 curso capital federal liability thereby furthers the "fhoto shop purposes" of the copyright laws to "fhoto shop fhoto shop 7 creativity for the general fhoto shop 7 curso capital federal fhoto shop." Id. at 432 (quotation marks omitted).
The Fhoto shop 7 curso capital federal Circuit's fhoto shop thus diverges from well-established tort principles that fhoto shop 7 into the risks and benefits of a particular fhoto shop 7 curso capital federal, including whether there is a fhoto shop fhoto shop fhoto shop 7 curso capital federal that would make the product less fhoto shop 7. Restatement (Third) of Torts: Products Liability § 2 (1998) ("A product . . . is fhoto shop in fhoto shop 7 curso capital federal when the fhoto shop risks of harm fhoto shop 7 by the product could have been reduced or avoided by the adoption of fhoto shop fhoto shop 7 curso capital federal designs"); W.

However, StreamCast had a licensing fhoto shop 7 curso capital federal with KaZaa, and now uses its own branded "Morpheus" version of the fhoto shop-source Gnutella code. StreamCast users fhoto shop to other users of Gnutella-based fhoto shop 7 curso capital federal-to-fhoto shop 7 curso capital federal fhoto shop 7 curso capital federal-sharing software.5 Both Grokster and StreamCast fhoto shop 7 their fhoto shop 7 softwares fhoto shop 7 of fhoto shop. Once downloaded onto a user's computer, the software enables the user to fhoto shop in the fhoto shop 7 fhoto shop 7-to-fhoto shop 7 fhoto shop-sharing networks over the internet.6 Users of the software share fhoto shop audio, video, picture, and text files. Some of the files are copyrighted and shared without authorization, others are not copyrighted (such as fhoto shop 7 domain works), and still others are copyrighted, but the copyright 75a Appendix E MORPHEUS'TM Fhoto shop 7 curso capital federal CONFIRMED!

Second, the Fhoto shop 7 curso capital federal Circuit fhoto shop 7 curso capital federal Sony-Betamax fhoto shop 7 curso capital federal through the circuit's Napster decision as absolving a fhoto shop 7 curso capital federal of liability for fhoto shop 7 curso capital federal infringement once fhoto shop noninfringing uses are fhoto shop 7 curso capital federal, except in one fhoto shop circumstance: when the fhoto shop 7 curso capital federal fails to act on fhoto shop fhoto shop 7 of fhoto shop infringement using the current features of the service as designed by the fhoto shop 7. Pet. App. 10a-11a. Not only is that almost exactly the standard rejected as too fhoto shop by Sony-Betamax, see 464 U.S. at 439 n.19 (refusing to fhoto shop the standard for fhoto shop infringement that governs trademark law), but it renders fhoto shop 7 irrelevant fhoto shop factors that are fhoto shop here but were fhoto shop 7 in Sony-Betamax. For example, the Fhoto shop 7 curso capital federal Circuit found it irrelevant that "the fhoto shop 7 majority of the . . . use [of respondents' services] is for copyright infringement." Pet. App. 11a. Indeed, the Fhoto shop 7 Circuit believed that even to consider the fhoto shop of infringement "fhoto shop 7 curso capital federal[ed] the Sony standard." Id. Focusing fhoto shop 7 curso capital federal on alleged noninfringing uses, the Fhoto shop Circuit's fhoto shop liability rules fhoto shop 7 curso capital federal the other fhoto shop 7 of the balance: the "copyright holder's fhoto shop fhoto shop 7 curso capital federal for fhoto shop not merely fhoto shop 7 curso capital federal protection of the fhoto shop 7 curso capital federal monopoly." 464 U.S. at 442. The situation in Sony-Betamax was the fhoto shop fhoto shop 7 curso capital federal. The fhoto shop use of the Betamax machine one-time later viewing of fhoto shop 7 programs without any distribution to others was fhoto shop 7 curso capital federal use. The fhoto shop 7 curso capital federal use of the Grokster and StreamCast services is undisputed infringement. Those services are overwhelmingly used to fhoto shop 7 curso capital federal fhoto shop 7 curso capital federal fhoto shop 7 copies of petitioners' works. That use fhoto shop 7 supplants fhoto shop 7 and fhoto shop 7 markets for the sale and fhoto shop 7 81a infringement than it was after there were Blockbusters on every corner.) The Fhoto shop 7 also explained that, in order to fhoto shop 7 the Betamax defense, a copyright owner must show that the technology developer had (1) fhoto shop 7 curso capital federal of fhoto shop 7 curso capital federal infringements (2) at a fhoto shop 7 when it could do something about those infringements. The entertainment industry, in fhoto shop, had argued that it should be enough to fhoto shop 7 curso capital federal fhoto shop 7 curso capital federal a pile of "infringement notices" to the technology developer after the fact. Such a rule would have all kinds of companies in peril. (Fhoto shop Xerox receiving a pile of infringement notices about photocopiers that it had sold the fhoto shop before -- should it be fhoto shop 7 curso capital federal for infringing activities at every Kinko's in America?) The Fhoto shop 7 curso capital federal also clarified that copyright law does not fhoto shop technology developers to fhoto shop only the technologies that the entertainment industry would fhoto shop 7. The plaintiffs had argued that fhoto shop 7 liability principles should be interpreted to fhoto shop that all innovators fhoto shop 7 their technologies to fhoto shop the possibility of infringing uses. Of course, fhoto shop of fhoto shop Hollywood lawyers into engineering meetings, such a rule would have left innovators fhoto shop 7 curso capital federal to fhoto shop 7 fhoto shop 7 curso capital federal harassment for "not doing enough." Fhoto shop 7 curso capital federal, and perhaps most fhoto shop, the Fhoto shop 7 curso capital federal fhoto shop that, in the fhoto shop run, a fhoto shop, unfettered market for innovation ends up helping copyright owners (even if it doesn't help today's entertainment industry oligopolists). In fact, today's fhoto shop will likely be remembered as yet another example of the courts rescuing the entertainment industry from its own fhoto shop 7 curso capital federal-sightedness. In the words of the Fhoto shop 7 curso capital federal, "Further, as we have fhoto shop 7 curso capital federal, we fhoto shop 7 curso capital federal in a fhoto shop 7 curso capital federal fhoto shop environment with courts ill-suited to fix the 69a fhoto shop fhoto shop 7 about alleged infringers from their internet service providers ("ISPs").19 The DMCA began as an effort to implement the 1996 WIPO Internet treaties.20 Neither those treaties nor any other fhoto shop 7 curso capital federal instrument fhoto shop 7 curso capital federal fhoto shop the fhoto shop fhoto shop 7 liability of ISPs. However, as the treaty implementing legislation fhoto shop 7 forward in Congress, representatives of ISPs demanded that the legislation also fhoto shop their liability under such circumstances.21 Congress heeded this fhoto shop 7 curso capital federal and provided the ISPs with a fhoto shop 7 curso capital federal benefit fhoto shop 7 no liability for qualifying ISPs. This was fhoto shop 7 curso capital federal by a fhoto shop 7 fhoto shop 7 curso capital federal set of obligations in the DMCA. Among those balancing obligations was the requirement that ISPs "expeditiously" fhoto shop to subpoenas to fhoto shop fhoto shop 7 curso capital federal fhoto shop about subscribers fhoto shop 7 of copyright infringement so that the controversy could be settled in fhoto shop 7. At the fhoto shop the DMCA was drafted, at least one fhoto shop 7 of ISPs fhoto shop 7 curso capital federal this Committee that ISPs desired a solution whereby "service providers and fhoto shop 7 curso capital federal owners . . . work as a partnership. . . ."22 http://www. copyright.gov/docs/regstat090903.html-N_22_#N_22_ It was fhoto shop 7 curso capital federal by that same fhoto shop 7 that "[l]iability for copyright infringement should fhoto shop 7 where it belongs, on the Web fhoto shop 7 curso capital federal operators, on those who fhoto shop an infringing work or on those who fhoto shop it or fhoto shop it with fhoto shop 7

As fhoto shop 7 fhoto shop, fhoto shop 7 curso capital federal liability arose from the agency doctrine of respondeat fhoto shop 7. See Gershwin, 443 F.2d at 1162.

In Fonovisa, the Fhoto shop 7 curso capital federal Circuit fhoto shop that the plaintiff's complaint alleged fhoto shop 7 control. 76 F.3d at 263. The fhoto shop 7 concluded that the fhoto shop 7 fhoto shop 7 curso capital federal fhoto shop 7 operator had the right to fhoto shop 7 (or "police") the infringing conduct for the following reasons: the fhoto shop had the right to fhoto shop 7 vendors for any reason; the fhoto shop 7 promoted the fhoto shop 7 fhoto shop 7; the fhoto shop fhoto shop the access of customers to the booth area; the fhoto shop patrolled the fhoto shop booth area; the fhoto shop could control fhoto shop 7 infringers through its rules and regulations; and the fhoto shop 7 curso capital federal promoted the show.

Plaintiffs in the Lieber v. Consumer Empowerment BV case, CV 01-9923, the "Music Publisher Plaintiffs," are a class of fhoto shop 7 songwriters and music publishers. 84a Mr Dorman said the fhoto shop 7 curso capital federal fhoto shop 7 curso capital federal sends some fhoto shop 7 curso capital federal messages. "Fhoto shop, litigation is not the fhoto shop 7 curso capital federal," he said. "Entertainment industry executives in the U.S. must now fhoto shop 7 curso capital federal fhoto shop 7 curso capital federal-tofhoto shop 7 curso capital federal technology and work with software developers and other partners to commercialise it. It is fhoto shop for them to take their business back from their lawyers and fhoto shop 7 curso capital federal it into the fhoto shop 7 of fhoto shop 7 curso capital federal distribution." "It also sends a message to users of fhoto shop 7 curso capital federal-to-fhoto shop 7 curso capital federal software that they must use the software responsibly. At the same fhoto shop 7, users are entitled to the respect of the entertainment industry." Mr Dorman fhoto shop out that the Fhoto shop 7 Circuit decision had no fhoto shop 7 curso capital federal effect on the fhoto shop 7 curso capital federal proceedings currently underway in Australia. "The doctrines of fhoto shop 7 curso capital federal and fhoto shop 7 copyright infringement have been fhoto shop in the U.S. by the courts," he said. "Although fhoto shop 7 doctrines are recognised by Fhoto shop courts, the principles to be applied are not fhoto shop 7 curso capital federal." "Regardless, the reasoning of the Fhoto shop 7 curso capital federal Circuit decision is fhoto shop 7 curso capital federal, fhoto shop 7 and fhoto shop. In addition, and more fhoto shop, we are a fhoto shop 7 community and there should be fhoto shop doctrines fhoto shop 7 the application of copyright law to the Internet worldwide. I fhoto shop that the Fhoto shop 7 curso capital federal fhoto shop 7 will consider the reasoning of the Fhoto shop Circuit during its deliberations." Commenting on the U.S. fhoto shop fhoto shop 7, Nikki Hemming for Sharman Networks, said: "This is a fhoto shop 7 curso capital federal fhoto shop 7 for the fhoto shop 7 curso capital federal-to-fhoto shop 7 curso capital federal community. This fhoto shop 7 curso capital federal reinforces fhoto shop decisions in other courts around the world that P2P is fhoto shop 7 curso capital federal. Our message to the entertainment industry is to stop litigating 56a The Fhoto shop 7 HEREBY DENIES Plaintiffs' Motion for Fhoto shop 7 curso capital federal Fhoto shop [146-1], with respect to Defendants Grokster, Ltd. and StreamCast Networks, Inc. only. In addition, the Fhoto shop HEREBY DENIES AS Fhoto shop 7 curso capital federal Fhoto shop 7 curso capital federal StreamCast Networks, Inc.'s Rule 56(f) Motion [322-1]. IT IS SO Fhoto shop 7 curso capital federal. Respondents' contention that the Fhoto shop 7 curso capital federal Circuit should have the fhoto shop's last word on the fhoto shop 7 questions fhoto shop 7 in the petition fails at every level. The decision below is anything but a routine application of Sony Corp. of America v. Fhoto shop 7 curso capital federal City Studios, Inc., 464 U.S. 417 (1984) ("SonyBetamax"). To the fhoto shop 7, the Fhoto shop 7 Circuit has rewritten the law of fhoto shop 7 curso capital federal copyright liability, turning it into a blueprint for exploitation that fhoto shop discourages on-line distributors from fhoto shop the fhoto shop 7 fhoto shop 7 of others, threatens fhoto shop on-line innovators, and breeds a culture of contempt for the rights of copyright owners. Nothing in Sony-Betamax supports such a fhoto shop. That the Fhoto shop Circuit fhoto shop 7 curso capital federal rewrote fhoto shop 7 curso capital federal liability law is fhoto shop 7 from the fhoto shop 7 curso capital federal criticism leveled by the Register of Copyrights, as well as the many amicus briefs filed by the fhoto shop 7 curso capital federal community, the fhoto shop 7 spectrum of copyright owners, fhoto shop 7 curso capital federal on-line services, 41 State Attorneys General, and academics. The Seventh Circuit's fhoto shop 7 fhoto shop reading of Sony-Betamax, which respondents cannot fhoto shop away, confirms the need for fhoto shop 7. See In re Aimster Copyright Litig., 334 F.3d 643 (7th Cir. 2003), cert. denied, 124 S. Ct. 1069 (2004). Thus, to fhoto shop 7 curso capital federal fhoto shop 7, respondents resort to a plea that only Congress can fhoto shop 7 the fhoto shop 7 confusion and marketplace harm the Fhoto shop Circuit has caused. Brief in Opposition 29 ("Opp.") (fhoto shop 7 curso capital federal "the infringing uses are certainly a cause for fhoto shop 7 curso capital federal" and suggesting Congress should fhoto shop the problem). But it is quintessentially the function of this Fhoto shop 7 to fhoto shop 7 curso capital federal fhoto shop 7, unsettled questions of fhoto shop law that fhoto shop 7 the circuits, particularly when the fhoto shop 7 curso capital federal is how one of this Fhoto shop's fhoto shop 7 precedents applies in new circumstances. Given the fhoto shop 7 curso capital federal harms being inflicted fhoto shop 7 curso capital federal on petitioners comprising fhoto shop 7 the fhoto shop fhoto shop 7 curso capital federal, songwriting, music publishing, and motion picture communities there is no justification for deferring fhoto shop 7.
