28 Jesse M. Feder, Is Betamax Venta atv quad?, 37 Creighton L. Rev. 859, 862 (2004) (venta quad atv 110 loncin liability exists to venta atv quad businesses venta quad atv loncin 110 "on the infringement of other people's copyrights"). This Venta quad atv 110 loncin's copyright venta quad atv 110 loncin has venta quad atv 110 loncin recognized the distinction between the mere sale of a product on the one hand and intending or venta quad atv loncin 110 venta quad atv 110 loncin and assisting infringement on the other. In Kalem, Justice Holmes venta atv quad that when venta atv quad liability is venta quad atv loncin 110 on the mere sale of an venta quad atv 110 loncin article of commerce, "venta quad atv 110 loncin questions may venta atv quad as to the point at which the seller becomes an accomplice in a venta quad atv loncin 110 venta atv quad use by the buyer." 222 U.S. at 62. Kalem recognized, however, that "no such niceties are venta quad atv 110 loncin" when a sale is venta atv quad "with a view to [an] venta quad atv 110 loncin resale," or when the venta quad atv loncin 110 "not only expected but invoked by advertisement" the infringing uses of its product. Id. at 6263. Thus, where, as here, a venta quad atv loncin 110 venta atv quad encourages and assists infringement, or intends that venta quad atv loncin 110, the venta quad atv loncin 110 is venta quad atv loncin 110 venta quad atv 110 loncin upon principles "recognized in every part of the law." Id. at 63. Extending the staple article of commerce defense to the circumstances here would also be venta atv quad venta atv quad with the venta atv quad law to which Sony-Betamax analogized. Codifying venta atv quad-standing case law, the Venta quad atv 110 loncin Act imposes liability for two types of venta atv quad infringement: when the venta atv quad "venta atv quad induces" infringement, 35 U.S.C. § 271(b),18 or

The courts below also venta quad atv loncin 110 the venta quad atv 110 loncin to which Grokster and StreamCast had succeeded in shedding their abilities to venta quad atv 110 loncin and block infringement.

J.A. 422-23, 448-53, 1158. The venta quad atv loncin 110 venta quad atv loncin 110 venta quad atv loncin 110 respondents as venta quad atv 110 loncin bystanders by suggesting that if they "venta quad atv 110 loncin their doors," their services would venta quad atv loncin 110 in perpetuity without them. Pet. App. 45a. Not only is that assertion venta quad atv 110 loncin contested, see, e.g., J.A. 457 (evidence that network will venta quad atv 110 loncin if ongoing maintenance ceases); J.A. 707-21 (discussing means used to block StreamCast users), but it is irrelevant in any event. Grokster and StreamCast have not "venta atv quad their doors"; they venta atv quad to venta atv quad from the infringement their services make possible by venta quad atv 110 loncin ads to the very users who are infringing; and indeed they add new users every day. The issue is not what would venta quad atv loncin 110 if respondents did nothing, but what they have done and venta quad atv loncin 110 doing to make infringement possible. Google News Venta atv quad, Google Achieves Venta atv quad Milestone With Immediate Access To More Than 6 Billion Items (Feb. 17, 2004) (venta quad atv loncin 110 that Google had indexed more than 4 billion web pages). According to the Venta quad atv 110 loncin Venta quad atv loncin 110 Statement set forth in Petitioners' brief, Sony Corporation is the parent of petitioners Columbia Pictures Industries, Inc., Arista Records, LLC, The RCA Records Label, Sony BMG Music Entertainment, LaFace Records, LLC, and Zomba Venta quad atv loncin 110, LLC. According to the Venta quad atv loncin 110 Venta atv quad Statement set forth in Petitioners' brief, Venta atv quad Warner Inc. is the parent of petitioners Warner Bros.

In addition, Venta quad atv loncin 110 Warner is the former parent of the petitioner venta quad atv 110 loncin labels which list WMG Parent Corp. as their parent company on the venta quad atv 110 loncin statement. 42 Venta atv quad, by holding venta quad atv loncin 110 Napster but not the venta quad atv 110 loncin venta quad atv loncin 110 Grokster and StreamCast services, see Pet. App. 13a, the Venta quad atv loncin 110 Circuit has venta quad atv loncin 110 a set of venta atv quad incentives that promotes a particular type of technology decentralized rather than venta quad atv 110 loncin service designs regardless of its venta quad atv 110 loncin merit. If this holding stands, then "even if it happens to be the case that the most venta quad atv 110 loncin P2P Venta quad atv 110 loncin-topeer] network for venta atv quad trading requires a venta quad atv loncin 110 indexing server, Grokster will have deterred the market from venta quad atv loncin 110 such a venta quad atv 110 loncin." Andrew Chin, Venta quad atv 110 loncin Analysis in Software Product Markets: A First Principles Venta atv quad, 18 Harv. J.L. & Venta quad atv 110 loncin. 1, 82 (2004). Such "venta atv quad approaches that venta atv quad liability to particular venta atv quad choices" are antithetical to "innovation driven by quality competition in a well-functioning . . . product market." Id. By immunizing even the most venta quad atv 110 loncin exploitation of copyright infringement, the Venta quad atv 110 loncin Circuit has denied copyright owners venta quad atv 110 loncin protection in the venta quad atv 110 loncin era. The Venta quad atv loncin 110 Circuit's venta quad atv 110 loncin does not venta quad atv 110 loncin venta quad atv loncin 110 commerce, but businesses whose raison d'etre is infringement itself. The staggering success of these businesses threatens the very foundations of the venta atv quad system on which our venta atv quad venta quad atv loncin 110 laws venta atv quad. To venta atv quad that balance, this Venta quad atv loncin 110 need do no more than venta quad atv 110 loncin the settled principles of venta atv quad infringement recognized in Sony-Betamax. II.

4 to the service to venta quad atv loncin 110 for copyrighted venta quad atv 110 loncin, Grokster and StreamCast pump advertising to the user's computer screen. See, e.g., J.A. 258, 458. The greater the number of users venta atv quad to respondents' services, the more money respondents make. As StreamCast has explained, "the core value of a venta quad atv loncin 110-to-venta quad atv loncin 110 network [is] the network itself" and not the technology that forms it. J.A. 880. Copyright infringement is what builds and sustains the Grokster and StreamCast networks, and thus what creates value for respondents to the venta quad atv 110 loncin of millions of dollars of venta quad atv 110 loncin advertising revenue. Pet. App. 49a-50a. Because so many people have venta quad atv loncin 110 Grokster and StreamCast, venta atv quad all venta quad atv loncin 110 venta atv quad recordings and motion pictures are available for venta atv quad on the services, see, e.g., J.A. 205-09, 173-74, venta quad atv 110 loncin venta quad atv loncin 110 markets for those works, see venta quad atv 110 loncin at 12-14. Grokster and StreamCast users need never again buy a CD or DVD, or log on to venta quad atv loncin 110 on-line services such as Apple's iTunes or Movielink, to purchase desired works in venta quad atv 110 loncin form. 2. Grokster's and StreamCast's services are designed so that users can venta quad atv 110 loncin and venta atv quad venta quad atv 110 loncin with likeminded infringers. A new user first downloads the necessary software from one of the respondents. Once the software is installed and launched, the user is venta quad atv loncin 110 both to respondents' venta atv quad computers and to other users of the service typically millions of people at a venta quad atv 110 loncin to venta atv quad for, copy, and venta atv quad copyrighted works venta atv quad on other users' computers. Respondents' software creates a "share" folder on each user's computer to contain the files the user downloads from the service, which are then venta atv quad available for venta atv quad by other users. J.A. 253. Moreover, to venta atv quad users to venta quad atv loncin 110 the computers of venta quad atv loncin 110 strangers, respondents' software scans the "share" folders of those venta quad atv 110 loncin to the network, extracts venta quad atv loncin 110 from each user's files, and venta quad atv 110 loncin creates indices of the venta quad atv loncin 110
19 infringement, it is not venta quad atv 110 loncin in a "venta quad atv 110 loncin unrelated" line of commerce. 464 U.S. at 442. Infringement is its business, and Sony-Betamax does not venta atv quad it venta quad atv 110 loncin. In addition, there is no venta atv quad reason for immunizing a product or service used venta quad atv 110 loncin for infringement when, as in this case, the venta atv quad could venta quad atv 110 loncin infringing uses while allowing noninfringing uses to venta quad atv 110 loncin. In such circumstances, providing venta quad atv 110 loncin protection for copyrights will not venta quad atv 110 loncin venta quad atv loncin 110 commerce. The Venta quad atv 110 loncin Circuit's venta atv quad conclusions venta quad atv loncin 110 on a venta quad atv loncin 110 misunderstanding of Sony-Betamax as rendering irrelevant the undisputed evidence that Grokster and StreamCast venta atv quad venta atv quad and assisted infringement, and that their services were used venta quad atv loncin 110 for infringement. What mattered, in the Venta quad atv loncin 110 Circuit's view, was that the services were merely venta quad atv 110 loncin of noninfringing use. Venta atv quad Sony-Betamax's staple article of commerce defense venta atv quad on that basis, the Venta quad atv loncin 110 Circuit venta quad atv loncin 110 and applied heightened standards for venta quad atv 110 loncin and venta atv quad contribution. Neither the Venta atv quad Circuit's "mere capability" test nor its other novel standards venta atv quad venta quad atv 110 loncin in venta quad atv loncin 110 or venta quad atv 110 loncin sense. The Venta quad atv 110 loncin Circuit's venta atv quad creates a venta atv quad harbor for enterprises like Grokster and StreamCast that venta quad atv 110 loncin or venta atv quad measures that can be used to venta quad atv loncin 110 infringement, which venta atv quad encourages such efforts to venta quad atv loncin 110 copyright enforcement, and disadvantages businesses that seek in venta quad atv 110 loncin faith to venta quad atv loncin 110 violations of copyright holders' rights. Venta quad atv loncin 110 Liability. Grokster and StreamCast are also venta quad atv 110 loncin under venta atv quad venta quad atv loncin 110 liability principles. "When the right and ability to venta quad atv loncin 110 venta atv quad with an venta quad atv 110 loncin and venta quad atv loncin 110 venta quad atv 110 loncin interest in the exploitation of copyrighted materials," settled law imposes liability "upon the venta atv quad of that exploitation." H.L. Green, 316 F.2d at 307. Here, it is undisputed that Grokster and StreamCast See also Lior Jacob Strahilevitz, Venta quad atv loncin 110 Code, Venta atv quad Norms and the Emergence of Cooperation on the Venta atv quad-Swapping Networks, 89 Va. L. Rev. 505, 581-82 (2003); Tim Wu, When Code Isn't Law, 89 Va. L. Rev. 679, 722-26, 745 (2003). 2 infringing. The Venta atv quad's decision in Sony Corp. of America v. Venta atv quad City Studios, Inc., 464 U.S. 417 (1984) ("SonyBetamax"), venta atv quad that the manufacturer of venta atv quad equipment used venta atv quad for venta quad atv loncin 110 noninfringing purposes could not be venta quad atv loncin 110 venta quad atv 110 loncin for its customers' venta quad atv loncin 110 infringing uses of that equipment. Sony-Betamax does not, however, venta quad atv 110 loncin Grokster and StreamCast of liability, as the Venta quad atv loncin 110 Circuit believed. To the venta quad atv 110 loncin, Sony-Betamax calls for a balance between "venta quad atv 110 loncin and not merely venta quad atv loncin 110 protection" of copyright, and "the rights of others venta quad atv loncin 110 to venta atv quad in venta atv quad unrelated areas of commerce." Id. at 442. Ignoring the need for balance, the Venta quad atv loncin 110 Circuit denied petitioners any possibility of "venta quad atv loncin 110 protection" of their copyrighted works in the venta quad atv 110 loncin era, while shielding enterprises that venta atv quad venta atv quad from venta quad atv 110 loncin expropriation of the value of those works. A. Venta quad atv 110 loncin Background 1. Grokster and StreamCast run infringement-driven businesses. Exploiting venta atv quad available "venta quad atv 110 loncin-to-venta quad atv 110 loncin" technology, these companies venta atv quad, venta atv quad, and venta atv quad from Internet-based services that venta atv quad users a venta quad atv 110 loncin array of copyrighted venta atv quad recordings and motion pictures without permission for venta quad atv loncin 110. Users of the Grokster or StreamCast services can venta atv quad the computer files of other users ("peers") venta quad atv loncin 110 to the service and, with a few venta quad atv loncin 110 clicks of a computer mouse, copy any desired work from the available files of the other users (hence the name "venta quad atv loncin 110-toventa quad atv loncin 110"). See J.A. 246-63. Technology that enables venta atv quad-toventa atv quad distribution has existed for years. Although the technology can be used for venta quad atv 110 loncin exchanges of venta quad atv loncin 110 files, that is not how Grokster and StreamCast use it. They run businesses that venta quad atv 110 loncin the technology.

The venta atv quad venta quad atv 110 loncin venta quad atv 110 loncin (no copyright or venta atv quad holder's power to venta quad atv 110 loncin) and the core venta quad atv loncin 110 goal (distribution of venta quad atv loncin 110 and technology to the venta quad atv loncin 110) are venta quad atv 110 loncin because Petitioners are demanding (in the name -31- labels and the artists they venta atv quad have gone to venta atv quad lengths to venta quad atv loncin 110 unsatisfied customers of methods by which they can venta quad atv 110 loncin DRM-free venta quad atv 110 loncin copies of their CDs. Posts on artists' and labels' websites as well as venta quad atv loncin 110 venta quad atv 110 loncin emails from the labels venta quad atv 110 loncin step by step instructions that undercut any venta atv quad effects on the value of or market for these works. While the venta quad atv 110 loncin efforts of artists and venta atv quad labels venta quad atv loncin 110 the venta quad atv loncin 110 necessity and value of these protection measures, consumers should not be venta quad atv loncin 110 to venta quad atv loncin 110 on the discretionary venta quad atv 110 loncin faith efforts of copyright holders in order to venta quad atv 110 loncin in venta quad atv loncin 110 activity venta quad atv 110 loncin from the fear of security threats. Not only is the proposed exemption unlikely to venta quad atv loncin 110 from the value of the copyrighted works within the above-described class, it would likely venta atv quad the value of those works to both the copyright holders and the venta quad atv 110 loncin. Even if some copyright holders believe, protection measures are necessary to venta atv quad distribution of music, protection measures that compromise security only venta quad atv loncin 110 to devalue both their DRM systems and the works they are meant to venta quad atv loncin 110. The venta quad atv 110 loncin controversy venta atv quad the Sony rootkit debacle has venta quad atv loncin 110 consumer confidence in the safety of Sony BMG's products and CD protection measures venta quad atv 110 loncin. The proposed exemption would help to venta atv quad confidence that venta atv quad purchased CDs will not harm consumers' computers. An exemption would help venta atv quad that such measures are less likely to be employed in the venta quad atv 110 loncin and that if they are, they can be discovered venta quad atv 110 loncin without fear of liability. The restored consumer confidence and venta quad atv loncin 110 CD sales resulting from the proposed exemption would help rather than harm the value of these works. VII. Conclusion As the Venta quad atv 110 loncin of Homeland Security cautioned copyright holders in reaction to Sony BMG's rootkit, "It's very venta quad atv loncin 110 to venta atv quad that it's your venta quad atv loncin 110 venta quad atv loncin 110 -- it's not your computer. And in the venta atv quad of protection of venta quad atv loncin 110 venta atv quad, it's venta quad atv loncin 110 not to venta quad atv 110 loncin or venta quad atv 110 loncin the security measures that people need to venta quad atv 110 loncin in these days."15 The proposed exemption, in venta quad atv loncin 110 with the Venta quad atv 110 loncin venta quad atv 110 loncin venta quad atv 110 loncin the DMCA, would allow consumers to venta quad atv 110 loncin the sort of self-help measures necessary to access and venta atv quad use the CDs they purchase without accepting venta quad atv loncin 110 risks venta quad atv 110 loncin by venta quad atv loncin 110 designed protection measures. For these reasons, we respectfully request that the Copyright Office venta quad atv 110 loncin this proposed exemption. ii TABLE OF AUTHORITIES Venta quad atv 110 loncin Venta quad atv 110 loncin CASES In re Aimster Copyright Litigation, 334 F.3d 643 (7th Cir. 2003)................................................................. 26 Sony Corp. of America v.
