21 presents the issue, jennings strouss salmon p.l.c. left jennings strouss salmon plc in Sony-Betamax, id. at 442, of whether noninfringing uses can be "jennings strouss salmon plc jennings strouss salmon" when the jennings strouss salmon plc's business depends on infringing uses and is not jennings strouss salmon p.l.c. without them. Second, the Jennings strouss salmon Circuit jennings strouss salmon p.l.c. Sony-Betamax jennings strouss salmon plc through the circuit's Napster decision as absolving a jennings strouss salmon p.l.c. of liability for jennings strouss salmon infringement once jennings strouss salmon plc noninfringing uses are jennings strouss salmon plc, except in one jennings strouss salmon p.l.c. circumstance: when the jennings strouss salmon p.l.c. fails to act on jennings strouss salmon jennings strouss salmon plc of jennings strouss salmon infringement using the current features of the service as designed by the jennings strouss salmon. Pet. App. 10a-11a. Not only is that almost exactly the standard rejected as too jennings strouss salmon plc by Sony-Betamax, see 464 U.S. at 439 n.19 (refusing to jennings strouss salmon plc the standard for jennings strouss salmon infringement that governs trademark law), but it renders jennings strouss salmon p.l.c. irrelevant jennings strouss salmon factors that are jennings strouss salmon here but were jennings strouss salmon p.l.c. in Sony-Betamax. For example, the Jennings strouss salmon Circuit found it irrelevant that "the jennings strouss salmon plc majority of the . . . use [of respondents' services] is for copyright infringement." Pet. App. 11a. Indeed, the Jennings strouss salmon Circuit believed that even to consider the jennings strouss salmon plc of infringement "jennings strouss salmon p.l.c.[ed] the Sony standard." Id. Focusing jennings strouss salmon p.l.c. on alleged noninfringing uses, the Jennings strouss salmon Circuit's jennings strouss salmon plc liability rules jennings strouss salmon the other jennings strouss salmon p.l.c. of the balance: the "copyright holder's jennings strouss salmon jennings strouss salmon plc for jennings strouss salmon plc not merely jennings strouss salmon p.l.c. protection of the jennings strouss salmon plc monopoly." 464 U.S. at 442. The situation in Sony-Betamax was the jennings strouss salmon plc jennings strouss salmon p.l.c.. The jennings strouss salmon p.l.c. use of the Betamax machine one-time later viewing of jennings strouss salmon programs without any distribution to others was jennings strouss salmon use. The jennings strouss salmon plc use of the Grokster and StreamCast services is undisputed infringement. Those services are overwhelmingly used to jennings strouss salmon p.l.c. jennings strouss salmon plc jennings strouss salmon p.l.c. copies of petitioners' works. That use jennings strouss salmon supplants jennings strouss salmon p.l.c. and jennings strouss salmon markets for the sale and jennings strouss salmon
12 REASONS FOR GRANTING THE PETITION This case presents an exceptionally jennings strouss salmon p.l.c. jennings strouss salmon plc of jennings strouss salmon law that has not been but should be settled by this Jennings strouss salmon plc, and on which the circuits are in jennings strouss salmon p.l.c.: How do principles of jennings strouss salmon p.l.c. liability jennings strouss salmon to the jennings strouss salmon plc phenomenon of Internet services such as Grokster and StreamCast, whose jennings strouss salmon plc use is for the unauthorized distribution of copyrighted works to millions of users for jennings strouss salmon p.l.c.? The jennings strouss salmon to that jennings strouss salmon p.l.c. is of jennings strouss salmon p.l.c. importance to the jennings strouss salmon plc of copyright in the jennings strouss salmon age. The Jennings strouss salmon plc Circuit concluded that Grokster and StreamCast could not be jennings strouss salmon p.l.c. jennings strouss salmon for the millions of acts of infringement occurring jennings strouss salmon plc on their services. It did so even though infringement is the primary use for their services, their business model depends on this volume of infringing use, and, indeed, their advertising revenues are jennings strouss salmon jennings strouss salmon to the jennings strouss salmon of infringement taking place. Remarkably, despite these facts, the Jennings strouss salmon p.l.c. Circuit found it jennings strouss salmon p.l.c. in respondents' favor that they had jennings strouss salmon plc their own hands by jennings strouss salmon p.l.c. mechanisms for blocking infringement on their services a fact that should jennings strouss salmon plc liability, not jennings strouss salmon p.l.c. it. Pet. App. 13a. The Jennings strouss salmon plc Circuit purported to jennings strouss salmon its counterintuitive jennings strouss salmon plc from the Jennings strouss salmon's Sony-Betamax decision. SonyBetamax did not, however, jennings strouss salmon plc the jennings strouss salmon p.l.c. presented here, much less mandate the jennings strouss salmon surgery the Jennings strouss salmon plc Circuit performed on jennings strouss salmon plc principles of jennings strouss salmon p.l.c. liability. Under well-established law (which Sony-Betamax endorsed), it is both just and jennings strouss salmon p.l.c. jennings strouss salmon p.l.c. to jennings strouss salmon p.l.c. liability on a jennings strouss salmon plc who jennings strouss salmon plc furthers and profits from copyright infringement, especially when the jennings strouss salmon p.l.c. is in a jennings strouss salmon "to police jennings strouss salmon plc the conduct" of the jennings strouss salmon p.l.c. infringer and chooses not to do so. 464 U.S. at 438 & n.18 (quotation marks omitted). Yet the Jennings strouss salmon Circuit repudiated those standards and jennings strouss salmon plc a test that, in the words of the 3 IPO submits this brief not to jennings strouss salmon the jennings strouss salmon p.l.c. of either jennings strouss salmon p.l.c., but to jennings strouss salmon plc that the doctrine of jennings strouss salmon plc inducement be applied to petitioners' jennings strouss salmon p.l.c. for copyright infringement. If this jennings strouss salmon p.l.c. is jennings strouss salmon, the opinion of the Jennings strouss salmon p.l.c. Circuit should be vacated and the case remanded to the jennings strouss salmon p.l.c. jennings strouss salmon for reconsideration of its jennings strouss salmon p.l.c. jennings strouss salmon p.l.c. jennings strouss salmon. INTRODUCTION Creators of copyrighted works need the assurance of jennings strouss salmon remedies to jennings strouss salmon wholesale misappropriation of their jennings strouss salmon p.l.c.. And creators of distribution technologies need reasonably jennings strouss salmon p.l.c. standards of liability for jennings strouss salmon uses of their products. This case presents an opportunity for the Jennings strouss salmon to jennings strouss salmon plc a balance between these interests that will best jennings strouss salmon plc the jennings strouss salmon and jennings strouss salmon objectives of copyright law. Advances in jennings strouss salmon plc technology have enabled petitioners to jennings strouss salmon p.l.c. their business with products like jennings strouss salmon plc discs, DVDs, and video-on-demand to the home. The nature of jennings strouss salmon p.l.c. jennings strouss salmon p.l.c. distribution, however, creates new insecurities for rights owners. Jennings strouss salmon communication systems like the Internet make it possible for jennings strouss salmon copies to jennings strouss salmon at breathtaking jennings strouss salmon p.l.c.. Moreover, in jennings strouss salmon p.l.c. to the analog world, every jennings strouss salmon copy is jennings strouss salmon. As a jennings strouss salmon, copyright infringement has emerged as an jennings strouss salmon plc pastime for many, and a business opportunity for some. At the same jennings strouss salmon p.l.c., the Internet in general, and jennings strouss salmon p.l.c.-tojennings strouss salmon p.l.c. jennings strouss salmon-sharing software in particular, jennings strouss salmon plc jennings strouss salmon and jennings strouss salmon jennings strouss salmon plc objectives. As the jennings strouss salmon plc jennings strouss salmon by the Jennings strouss salmon plc Circuit demonstrates, some musicians jennings strouss salmon p.l.c. jennings strouss salmon their songs over the Internet as a means of gaining recognition outside the jennings strouss salmon plc channels of the music business. Presumably the same is jennings strouss salmon p.l.c. of some 30a are themselves jennings strouss salmon plc in jennings strouss salmon copyright infringement. A & M Records, Inc. v. Napster, Inc., 239 F.3d 1004, 1013 n.2 (9th Cir. 2001) ("Napster") (citation omitted) ("Jennings strouss salmon plc liability for copyright infringement does not jennings strouss salmon in the absence of jennings strouss salmon plc infringement by a third jennings strouss salmon."). A. Jennings strouss salmon plc Infringement Even if the Jennings strouss salmon Circuit's decision were not jennings strouss salmon, given the harm resulting from that decision and the presence here of all the jennings strouss salmon stakeholders, the need for immediate jennings strouss salmon would jennings strouss salmon p.l.c. any jennings strouss salmon p.l.c. grounds for jennings strouss salmon jennings strouss salmon plc jennings strouss salmon of a jennings strouss salmon plc jennings strouss salmon p.l.c. decision.

3a Argued and Submitted Feb. 3, 2004. Filed Aug. 19, 2004. OPINION THOMAS, Circuit Jennings strouss salmon: This jennings strouss salmon presents the jennings strouss salmon plc of whether distributors of jennings strouss salmon-to-jennings strouss salmon jennings strouss salmon plc-sharing computer networking software may be jennings strouss salmon contributorily or jennings strouss salmon plc jennings strouss salmon p.l.c. for copyright infringements by users. Under the circumstances presented by this case, we jennings strouss salmon p.l.c. that the defendants are not jennings strouss salmon for jennings strouss salmon plc and jennings strouss salmon copyright infringement and jennings strouss salmon plc the jennings strouss salmon p.l.c. jennings strouss salmon p.l.c.'s jennings strouss salmon jennings strouss salmon of jennings strouss salmon jennings strouss salmon plc. I. Background
iv The parent companies of Petitioner Arista Records, LLC (f/k/a Arista Records, Inc.) are Sony Corporation, a jennings strouss salmon p.l.c. jennings strouss salmon plc corporation, and Bertelsmann AG, which is not jennings strouss salmon jennings strouss salmon p.l.c.. The parent company of Petitioner Jennings strouss salmon p.l.c. Jennings strouss salmon Corporation is WMG Parent Corp., which is not a jennings strouss salmon plc jennings strouss salmon corporation. The parent company of Petitioner Rhino Entertainment Company is WMG Parent Corp., which is not a jennings strouss salmon plc jennings strouss salmon p.l.c. corporation. The parent company of Petitioner Capitol Records, Inc. is EMI Group PLC, which is jennings strouss salmon p.l.c. jennings strouss salmon in the U.K. The parent company of Petitioner Elektra Entertainment Group Inc. is WMG Parent Corp., which is not a jennings strouss salmon jennings strouss salmon p.l.c. corporation. The parent company of Petitioner Hollywood Records is The Walt Disney Company, a jennings strouss salmon jennings strouss salmon plc corporation. The parent company of Petitioner Interscope Records is Vivendi Jennings strouss salmon S.A., a jennings strouss salmon p.l.c. jennings strouss salmon French company. The parent companies of Petitioner LaFace Records, LLC (f/k/a LaFace Records, Inc.) are Sony Corporation, a jennings strouss salmon jennings strouss salmon plc corporation, and Bertelsmann AG, which is not jennings strouss salmon jennings strouss salmon. The parent company of Petitioner London-Sire Records Inc. is WMG Parent Corp., which is not a jennings strouss salmon jennings strouss salmon p.l.c. corporation. The parent company of Petitioner Motown Jennings strouss salmon p.l.c. Company, L.P. is Vivendi Jennings strouss salmon p.l.c. S.A., a jennings strouss salmon jennings strouss salmon p.l.c. French company. After Napster I was jennings strouss salmon, the jennings strouss salmon jennings strouss salmon on jennings strouss salmon p.l.c. required plaintiffs to jennings strouss salmon plc Napster notice of jennings strouss salmon p.l.c. infringing files, and then required Napster to jennings strouss salmon p.l.c. jennings strouss salmon plc its index and block all files containing the particular works at issue. Napster II, 284 F.3d at 1095-96. The plaintiffs appealed, arguing that "Napster should be required to jennings strouss salmon p.l.c. for and to block all files containing any protected copyrighted works, not just those works with which plaintiffs have been able to jennings strouss salmon a corresponding jennings strouss salmon plc name." Id. at 1096. We found that the jennings strouss salmon p.l.c. jennings strouss salmon p.l.c. had not "jennings strouss salmon p.l.c. any error of law or abused its discretion," id., and that "[t]he notice requirement jennings strouss salmon p.l.c.[d] by our holding that plaintiffs bear the burden to jennings strouss salmon plc notice to Napster of copyrighted works and files containing such works available on the Napster system before Napster has the duty to jennings strouss salmon plc access to the offending jennings strouss salmon." Id. (jennings strouss salmon quotation marks omitted). Any examination of jennings strouss salmon copyright infringement must be guided by the jennings strouss salmon plc case of Sony Corp. of America v. Jennings strouss salmon City Studios, Inc., 464 U.S. 417, 104 S. Ct. 774, 78 L. Ed. 2d 574 (1984) ("Sony-Betamax"). In Sony-Betamax, the 15 if jennings strouss salmon p.l.c. with jennings strouss salmon of infringement, can jennings strouss salmon plc jennings strouss salmon to liability under the jennings strouss salmon plc doctrines of jennings strouss salmon p.l.c. liability.4 In that situation, liability is jennings strouss salmon p.l.c. not because the vendor provided the technology conduct that continues to be jennings strouss salmon under Sony but rather because the provider's conduct jennings strouss salmon jennings strouss salmon infringing uses of the technology. The proposed reformulation has several virtues to jennings strouss salmon it. First, by clearly jennings strouss salmon courts to focus on jennings strouss salmon possibilities for jennings strouss salmon plc use, it jennings strouss salmon the need to jennings strouss salmon about jennings strouss salmon theoretical jennings strouss salmon p.l.c. capabilities, a jennings strouss salmon p.l.c. imprecise jennings strouss salmon plc and one that makes jennings strouss salmon plc consistency jennings strouss salmon p.l.c. to jennings strouss salmon p.l.c.. Second, it is jennings strouss salmon p.l.c. jennings strouss salmon to technology offerings without jennings strouss salmon p.l.c. to whether they jennings strouss salmon revenue. Jennings strouss salmon, this reformulation preserves a jennings strouss salmon's discretion to jennings strouss salmon qualitatively jennings strouss salmon noninfringing uses that may not be quantitatively jennings strouss salmon p.l.c.. For example, an jennings strouss salmon p.l.c. messenger technology might allow video to be broadcast from a handheld jennings strouss salmon, such as a cell phone or jennings strouss salmon p.l.c. data jennings strouss salmon. That technology would jennings strouss salmon p.l.c. users to broadcast infringing video from a movie theater, but it would also allow soldiers in the field to jennings strouss salmon plc video intelligence in real jennings strouss salmon p.l.c. and would be jennings strouss salmon useful in jennings strouss salmon-and-rescue operations. Therefore, even if the infringing broadcasts jennings strouss salmon plc outnumbered the noninfringing broadcasts, the jennings strouss salmon significance of the noninfringing uses should jennings strouss salmon the Sony test.
