Secondary Liability for Infringements of Copyright-Protected Works: Part 2
THOMAS HAYS
European Intellectual Property Review
Volume 29, Issue 1, January 2007 p.15

LAW JOURNAL / LAW REVIEW

The development of the US law has often preceded changes in the rest of the world with respect to how contributory liability is applied to infringements of copyright in digital subject matter. This development follows a progression from placing liability on secondary actors at the centre of primarily infringing activities to placing liability on tangential facilitators on the basis of their intention to profit from primary infringements. With each change in the law and with each effort by right owners to enforce their rights against more remote participants in digital infringement processes, electronic commerce has adapted faster than the law, whether of the United States or the European Union, to decentralize the making and distribution of infringing copies. This transformation in the relative positions of right owners, the laws that protect them, consumers, and their facilitators heralds fundamental changes in commerce and in copyright law.

The Evolution and Decentralisation of Secondary Liability for Infringements of Copyright-protected Works (Part 1)
THOMAS HAYS
European Intellectual Property Review
Volume 28, Issue 12, December 2006 p.617

LAW JOURNAL / LAW REVIEW

The development of US law has often preceded changes in the rest of the world with respect to how contributory liability is applied to infringements of copyright in digital subject-matter. This development follows a progression from placing liability on secondary actors at the centre of primarily infringing activities to placing liability on tangential facilitators on the basis of their intention to profit from primary infringements. With each change in the law and with each effort by right owners to enforce their rights against more remote participants in digital infringement processes, such as digital file sharers, electronic commerce has adapted faster than the law, whether of the United States or the European Union, to decentralise the making and distribution of infringing copies. This transformation in the relative positions of right owners, the laws that protect them, consumers, and their facilitators heralds fundamental changes in commerce and in copyright law.
