        enables such making imperceptible and that is designed and 
        marketed to be used, at the direction of a member of a private 
        household, for such making imperceptible, if no fixed copy of 
        the altered version of the motion picture is created by such 
        computer program or other technology.''; and
            (4) by adding at the end the following:
    ``For purposes of paragraph (11), the term `making imperceptible' 
does not include the addition of audio or video content that is

this Act. This subparagraph does not preclude liability, nor shall it 
be construed to restrict the defenses or limitations on rights granted 
under this Act, of a person for conduct not described in paragraph (11) 
of section 110 of title 17, United States Code, even if that person 
also engages in conduct described in paragraph (11) of section 110 of 
such title.
    ``(B) A manufacturer, licensee, or licensor of technology that 
enables the making of limited portions of audio or video content of a 
motion picture imperceptible as described in subparagraph (A) is not 
liable on account of such manufacture or license for a violation of any 
right under this Act, if such manufacturer, licensee, or licensor 
ensures that the technology provides a clear and conspicuous notice at 
the beginning of each performance that the performance of the motion 
picture is altered from the performance intended by the director or 
copyright holder of the motion picture. The limitations on liability in 
subparagraph (A) and this subparagraph shall not apply to a 
manufacturer, licensee, or licensor of technology that fails to comply 
with this paragraph.

shall apply only with respect to technology manufactured after the end 
of the 180-day period beginning on the date of the enactment of the 
Family Movie Act of 2005.
    ``(D) Any failure by a manufacturer, licensee, or licensor of 
technology to qualify for the exemption under subparagraphs (A) and (B) 
shall not be construed to create an inference that any such party that 
engages in conduct described in paragraph (11) of section 110 of title 
17, United States Code, is liable for trademark infringement by reason 
of such conduct.''.
    (c) Definition.--In this section, the term ``Trademark Act of
