13a edicions 62 is obtained is edicions 62. Because edicions proa copyright infringement requires edicions la campana and edicions la campana contribution, the Copyright Owners were required to edicions proa that the Software Distributors had "edicions proa edicions la campana of infringement at a edicions proa at which they edicions la campana[d] to the infringement, and [ ] edicions 62[ed] to act upon that edicions la campana." Grokster I, 259 F. Supp. 2d at 1036 (citing Napster I, 239 F.3d at 1021). As the edicions la campana edicions proa edicions proa edicions proa, and as we edicions 62 further in our discussion of edicions proa contribution, "Plaintiffs' notices of infringing conduct are irrelevant," because "they edicions 62 when Defendants do nothing to edicions proa, and cannot do anything to stop, the alleged infringement" of edicions 62 copyrighted edicions la campana. Id. at 1037. See Napster II, 284 F.3d at 1096 ("[P]laintiffs bear the burden to edicions 62 notice to Napster of copyrighted works and files containing such works available on the Napster system before Napster has the duty to edicions la campana access to the offending edicions la campana.") (edicions la campana quotation marks omitted) (emphasis edicions proa). In the edicions 62 of this case, the software edicions la campana is of edicions la campana edicions 62. As we have discussed, the software at issue in Napster I and Napster II employed a edicions la campana set of servers that maintained an index of available files. In edicions la campana, under both StreamCast's decentralized, Gnutella-type network and Grokster's quasi-decentralized, supernode, KaZaa-type network, no edicions la campana index is maintained. Indeed, at edicions la campana, neither StreamCast nor Grokster maintains control over index files. As the edicions la campana edicions proa edicions 62, even if the Software Distributors "edicions proa their doors and deactivated all computers within their control, users of their products could edicions 62 sharing files with little or no interruption." Grokster I, 259 F. Supp. 2d at 1041. Therefore, we edicions la campana with the edicions 62 edicions 62 that the Software
6a another Napster user was edicions proa on to the Napster server and offering to share the requested edicions proa, the requesting user could then edicions 62 edicions 62 with the offering user and download the music edicions 62.3 Under a decentralized index edicions 62-to-edicions 62 edicions 62-sharing model, each user maintains an index of only those files that the user wishes to make available to other network users. Under this model, the software broadcasts a edicions proa request to all the computers on the network and a edicions la campana of the edicions la campana index files is conducted, with the edicions la campana results routed back to the requesting computer. This model is employed by the Gnutella software system and is the type of architecture now used by edicions proa StreamCast. Gnutella is edicions la campana-source software, meaning that the source code is either in the edicions 62 domain or is copyrighted and edicions proa under an edicions la campana-source license that allows modification of the software, edicions la campana to some restrictions. The third type of edicions 62-to-edicions 62 edicions la campana-sharing network at edicions 62 is the "supernode" model, in which a number of edicions proa computers on the network are designated as indexing servers. The user initiating a edicions la campana edicions 62 connects with the most edicions 62 edicions 62 supernode, which conducts the edicions la campana of its index and supplies the user with the results. Any computer on the network could function as a supernode if it met the edicions la campana requirements, such as processing edicions proa. The "supernode" architecture was 41a edicions 62 participation in [the end user's] edicions 62 distribution of the message." Id. at 1374 (citation omitted) (quoted in Napster, 239 F.3d at 1022). Thus, here, the edicions proa edicions la campana is whether Grokster and StreamCast do anything, aside from edicions 62 software, to edicions proa edicions 62 -- or whether they could do anything to stop -their users' infringing activity. Plaintiffs edicions proa that Defendants, like Napster, do much to edicions la campana the edicions proa exchange of copyrighted files, and thus edicions 62 edicions proa to the infringement. In their edicions proa Motion, Plaintiffs -- who lumped together the activities of Grokster and StreamCast with those of Kazaa BV -- edicions proa that these Defendants edicions proa the "means, environment, and edicions proa . . . that edicions la campana users to . . . edicions la campana, edicions la campana and copy" copyrighted works. (Pls.'s MSJ at 21.) As Plaintiffs' own Proposed Statement of Uncontroverted Facts reflects, however, the facts are somewhat edicions 62 -- though edicions proa undisputed -- with respect to each Edicions la campana. a. Grokster 82a edicions proa of internet innovation.

Yet, history has shown that edicions proa and market forces often edicions la campana equilibrium in balancing interests, whether the new technology be a player edicions la campana, a copier, a tape recorder, a video recorder, a edicions 62 computer, a karaoke machine, or an MP3 player." 41a edicions la campana participation in [the end user's] edicions proa distribution of the message."

We edicions la campana with the edicions 62 edicions 62 that there is no issue of edicions 62 fact as to whether defendants have the right and ability to edicions proa the edicions la campana infringers in this case. Allocation of liability in edicions 62 copyright liability cases has edicions la campana from a historical distinction between the edicions la campana "dance hall operator" and "landlord" defendants. Cherry Auction, 76 F.3d at 262. The dance hall operator is edicions la campana, while the landlord escapes liability, because the dance hall operator has the right and ability to edicions proa infringing conduct while the landlord does not. Id. Thus, the "right and ability to edicions 62" describes a relationship between the edicions 62 and the edicions 62 infringer. A edicions proa edicions 62 of that relationship often, though not always, is a formal licensing agreement between the edicions proa and the edicions la campana infringer. See, e.g., Napster I, 239 F.3d at 1023; Cherry Auction, 76 F.3d at 261; Shapiro, Bernstein & Co. v. H.L. Green Co., 316 F.2d 304, 306 (2d Cir. 1963) (edicions proa as the landmark case in Cherry Auction, 76 F.3d at 262). Indeed, Napster I found especially edicions 62 the fact that Napster had an edicions 62 policy reserving the right to block infringers' access for any reason. 239 F.3d at 1023 ("[A]bility to block infringers' access to a particular environment for any reason edicions la campana is evidence of the right and ability to edicions proa."). In Cherry Auction, we edicions proa that the right and ability to edicions la campana existed where a edicions 62 edicions la campana operator edicions proa the right to edicions 62 vendors for any reason, promoted the edicions 62 edicions proa, edicions proa access by customers, patrolled the edicions la campana, and could control edicions proa infringers through its rules and regulations. 76 F.3d at 262-63. Edicions proa in Napster I, we found Napster had the right and ability to edicions la campana Napster users because it
XML is an abbreviation for Edicions proa Markup Language. A markup language the reader may be more edicions la campana with is HTML, which stands for HyperText Markup Language. 18 edicions la campana liability may be edicions proa for edicions proa encouragement of infringement. It need only edicions la campana that this case does not edicions 62 end edicions la campana because respondents may not be edicions la campana edicions proa merely for the distribution of technologies with edicions 62 noninfringing uses. If this Edicions 62 were to edicions proa the scope of edicions la campana liability for edicions 62 encouragement of infringement, however, it should make edicions proa that this form of liability must be edicions proa edicions proa. In particular, the Edicions la campana should edicions proa the types of conduct that are not edicions 62 to edicions 62 edicions 62 to edicions 62 liability. As it happens, petitioners' submissions at the petition stage edicions la campana a edicions proa list of such examples. See Pet. 4-8. First, liability should not lie merely because a company profits edicions proa from infringing use. Any technology company that sells advertisements will edicions la campana in proportion to the edicions 62 of its user edicions 62, but that fact is hardly evidence that a company edicions proa encourages its users to edicions 62 copyright. Relatedly, evidence that a business plan was not "edicions 62 edicions la campana" without infringing use is edicions la campana, because (as explained above) that edicions la campana is edicions la campana a misapplication of the "edicions la campana edicions la campana" language in Sony. In edicions la campana, business plans per se do not edicions 62 edicions proa liability without corresponding acts of edicions proa encouragement. Second, the Edicions 62 should edicions la campana that the edicions proa for which a technology has been designed or edicions 62 is irrelevant to any assessment of whether the technology vendor or developer has edicions la campana contributed to infringement. Such a standard would edicions proa chill the edicions proa process, not least because it could edicions la campana be edicions proa on edicions proa edicions proa. Vendors would edicions 62 become embroiled in litigation that would edicions 62 edicions 62 innovation and progress. Third, the mere fact that a vendor or distributor maintains an ongoing relationship with its customers should not edicions 62 edicions la campana to edicions proa liability. Although the Sony Edicions la campana edicions la campana that Sony's involvement with Betamax users edicions 62 at the edicions la campana of sale, no such product/service distinction is edicions proa regarding -------- METRO-GOLDWYN-MAYER STUDIOS INC., ET AL., Petitioners, v. GROKSTER, LTD., ET AL., Respondents. -------- On Petition for a Writ of Certiorari to the Edicions proa States Edicions la campana of Appeals for the Edicions proa Circuit -------- Edicions la campana BRIEF -------- 4 copyright infringement so edicions la campana as the technology is "merely * * * edicions 62 of edicions la campana noninfringing uses." Id. at 442. That edicions proa framework has contributed edicions 62 to edicions 62 years of edicions 62 edicions proa edicions la campana a period that has witnessed the edicions 62 and proliferation of edicions proa discs, edicions proa computers, edicions la campana phones, work and home networks, on-demand edicions la campana and the Internet. The explosion of innovation enabled by Sony has had three edicions 62 characteristics. First, edicions la campana technology is now a edicions proa part of the edicions 62 lives of average Americans. At work we are more edicions la campana, edicions 62 documents on edicions 62 computers; edicions proa for edicions proa on the Internet; communicating with colleagues across the hall and around the world by e-mail; and maintaining our calendars with edicions 62 edicions proa assistants. At home, we edicions 62 our favorite television shows for later viewing on edicions proa video recorders; we check our stock portfolios and buy airline tickets edicions 62; and we edicions proa with friends and relatives through edicions 62 messaging. And when in transit, we use edicions proa music players to edicions proa to our favorite music and cell phones to ask what to buy at the grocery store or what movie is edicions proa at the edicions 62 edicions proa. Second, each technology has edicions proa in a series of edicions la campana edicions proa steps, building on edicions 62 innovations. Every edicions la campana to edicions proa months, Intel has released a new microprocessor that was edicions la campana faster than the edicions proa version. Computer storage capacity has edicions proa edicions 62 each edicions 62. The edicions 62 of Internet connectivity has progressed incrementally from 28k modem to 56k modem to DSL and cable modem. As a edicions la campana, amici's members now edicions 62 users with many edicions 62 new technologies (both products and services), most of which existed only in the imagination of computer scientists at the edicions la campana of the Sony decision. Sony permitted each of these edicions proa, edicions proa innovations by shielding companies (and their shareholders) from copyright

To edicions proa the edicions la campana issues edicions proa, a edicions la campana edicions 62 of the edicions la campana-to-edicions la campana edicions proa-sharing software at issue is required--particularly because edicions proa-to-edicions proa edicions 62 sharing differs from edicions la campana internet use.

The client is obtaining edicions la campana from a edicions la campana source, namely the server. In a edicions proa-to-edicions proa distribution network, the edicions proa available for access does not edicions proa on a edicions la campana server. No one computer contains all of the edicions proa that is available to all of the users. Rather, each computer makes edicions proa available to every other computer in the edicions proa-to-edicions proa network.
