Title: Copyright_infringement
Context: The U.S. Digital Millennium Copyright Act (1998) and the European E-Commerce Directive (2000) provide online intermediaries with limited statutory immunity from liability for copyright infringement. Online intermediaries hosting content that infringes copyright are not liable, so long as they do not know about it and take actions once the infringing content is brought to their attention. In U.S. law this is characterized as "safe harbor" provisions. Under European law, the governing principles for Internet Service Providers are "mere conduit", meaning that they are neutral 'pipes' with no knowledge of what they are carrying; and 'no obligation to monitor' meaning that they cannot be given a general mandate by governments to monitor content. These two principles are a barrier for certain forms of online copyright enforcement and they were the reason behind an attempt to amend the European Telecoms Package in 2009 to support new measures against copyright infringement.

Context: These types of intermediaries do not host or transmit infringing content, themselves, but may be regarded in some courts as encouraging, enabling or facilitating infringement by users. These intermediaries may include the author, publishers and marketers of peer-to-peer networking software, and the websites that allow users to download such software. In the case of the BitTorrent protocol, intermediaries may include the torrent tracker and any websites or search engines which facilitate access to torrent files. Torrent files don't contain copyrighted content, but they may make reference to files that do, and they may point to trackers which coordinate the sharing of those files. Some torrent indexing and search sites, such as The Pirate Bay, now encourage the use of magnet links, instead of direct links to torrent files, creating another layer of indirection; using such links, torrent files are obtained from other peers, rather than from a particular website.

question: What do certain type of intermediaries NOT do? 

answer: host or transmit infringing content

question: What protocol do intermediaries use that include a torrent tracker? 

answer: BitTorrent

question: What do Torrent files NOT contain? 

answer: copyrighted content

question: What is a torrent site that uses magnet links to share peer-to-peer? 

answer: The Pirate Bay
Title: Copyright_infringement
Context: Nevertheless, whether and to what degree any of these types of intermediaries have secondary liability is the subject of ongoing litigation. The decentralised structure of peer-to-peer networks, in particular, does not sit easily with existing laws on online intermediaries' liability. The BitTorrent protocol established an entirely decentralised network architecture in order to distribute large files effectively. Recent developments in peer-to-peer technology towards more complex network configurations are said to have been driven by a desire to avoid liability as intermediaries under existing laws.

question: What is the legal status of secondary liability? 

answer: subject of ongoing litigation

question: What makes peer-to-peer networks different than other online providers? 

answer: decentralised structure

question: What was the initial purpose of the BitTorrent protocol? 

answer: distribute large files effectively

question: What are the reasons for more complex network configurations in peer-to-peer software development? 

answer: to avoid liability as intermediaries
Title: Copyright_infringement
Context: Article 10 of the Berne Convention mandates that national laws provide for limitations to copyright, so that copyright protection does not extend to certain kinds of uses that fall under what the treaty calls "fair practice," including but not limited to minimal quotations used in journalism and education. The laws implementing these limitations and exceptions for uses that would otherwise be infringing broadly fall into the categories of either fair use or fair dealing. In common law systems, these fair practice statutes typically enshrine principles underlying many earlier judicial precedents, and are considered essential to freedom of speech.

question: What does Article 10 of the Berne Convention call certain uses that limit copyright? 

answer: fair practice

question: Where are minimal quotations commonly used? 

answer: journalism and education

question: What categories do works that would normally be considered infringing fall into? 

answer: fair use or fair dealing

question: What do these statutes represent? 

answer: principles underlying many earlier judicial precedents

question: What are these statutes essential to? 

answer: freedom of speech
Title: Copyright_infringement
Context: Another example is the practice of compulsory licensing, which is where the law forbids copyright owners from denying a license for certain uses of certain kinds of works, such as compilations and live performances of music. Compulsory licensing laws generally say that for certain uses of certain works, no infringement occurs as long as a royalty, at a rate determined by law rather than private negotiation, is paid to the copyright owner or representative copyright collective. Some fair dealing laws, such as Canada's, include similar royalty requirements.

question: What is it called when a law disallows copyright owners from denying a license for certain uses? 

answer: compulsory licensing

question: What are two examples of this licensing? 

answer: compilations and live performances of music

question: What happens if a royalty is paid to the copyright owner or representative? 

answer: no infringement occurs

question: What country has fair dealing laws? 

answer: Canada

Context: In Europe, the copyright infringement case Public Relations Consultants Association Ltd v Newspaper Licensing Agency Ltd had two prongs; one concerned whether a news aggregator service infringed the copyright of the news generators; the other concerned whether the temporary web cache created by the web browser of a consumer of the aggregator's service, also infringed the copyright of the news generators. The first prong was decided in favor of the news generators; in June 2014 the second prong was decided by the Court of Justice of the European Union (CJEU), which ruled that the temporary web cache of consumers of the aggregator did not infringe the copyright of the news generators.

question: Where was the Public Relations Consultants Association Ltd v Newspaper Licensing Agency Ltd case contested? 

answer: Europe

question: Whose copyright were news aggregators infringing on? 

answer: news generators

question: When was the second part of the case decided? 

answer: June 2014

question: What did the courts rule was NOT infringement? 

answer: temporary web cache of consumers
Title: Copyright_infringement
Context: In order to qualify for protection, a work must be an expression with a degree of originality, and it must be in a fixed medium, such as written down on paper or recorded digitally. The idea itself is not protected. That is, a copy of someone else's original idea is not infringing unless it copies that person's unique, tangible expression of the idea. Some of these limitations, especially regarding what qualifies as original, are embodied only in case law (judicial precedent), rather than in statutes.

question: If a work must include a degree of originality, what else must it contain to be protected? 

answer: in a fixed medium

question: What is NOT protected? 

answer: The idea itself

question: What makes a copy of an original idea infringing? 

answer: it copies that person's unique, tangible expression of the idea

question: What limitation is only embodied in case law, rather than statues? 

answer: what qualifies as original
Title: Copyright_infringement
Context: In the U.S., for example, copyright case law contains a substantial similarity requirement to determine whether the work was copied. Likewise, courts may require computer software to pass an Abstraction-Filtration-Comparison test (AFC Test) to determine if it is too abstract to qualify for protection, or too dissimilar to an original work to be considered infringing. Software-related case law has also clarified that the amount of R&D, effort and expense put into a work's creation doesn't affect copyright protection.

question: Which country needs a similarity requirement to determine if the work was copied? 

answer: U.S.

question: What test might courts require software to pass to determine if it is protected or infringing? 

answer: Abstraction-Filtration-Comparison test

question: What has software case law determined about R&D, effort and expense put into creation? 

answer: doesn't affect copyright protection
Title: Copyright_infringement
Context: Corporations and legislatures take different types of preventative measures to deter copyright infringement, with much of the focus since the early 1990s being on preventing or reducing digital methods of infringement. Strategies include education, civil & criminal legislation, and international agreements, as well as publicizing anti-piracy litigation successes and imposing forms of digital media copy protection, such as controversial DRM technology and anti-circumvention laws, which limit the amount of control consumers have over the use of products and content they have purchased.

question: Who takes different steps to prevent infringement? 

answer: Corporations and legislatures

question: What is the major focus of these steps? 

answer: preventing or reducing digital methods of infringement

question: What kinds of legislation are a strategy for preventing infringement? 

answer: civil & criminal

question: What does DRM and anti-circumvention laws do? 

answer: limit the amount of control consumers have
Title: Copyright_infringement
Context: Legislatures have reduced infringement by narrowing the scope of what is considered infringing. Aside from upholding international copyright treaty obligations to provide general limitations and exceptions, nations have enacted compulsory licensing laws applying specifically to digital works and uses. For example, in the U.S., the DMCA, an implementation of the 1996 WIPO Copyright Treaty, considers digital transmissions of audio recordings to be licensed as long as a designated copyright collective's royalty and reporting requirements are met. The DMCA also provides safe harbor for digital service providers whose users are suspected of copyright infringement, thus reducing the likelihood that the providers themselves will be considered directly infringing.

question: How have governments lowered infringement rates? 

answer: narrowing the scope of what is considered infringing

question: Besides upholding international treaty, what else have countries done specifically to digital works and uses? 

answer: enacted compulsory licensing laws

question: What law in the US considers digital transmission of audio to be licensed if certain conditions are met? 

answer: DMCA

question: What else does this law provide to service providers? 

answer: safe harbor

question: Who does this law target? 

answer: providers whose users are suspected of copyright infringement
Title: Copyright_infringement
Context: Some copyright owners voluntarily reduce the scope of what is considered infringement by employing relatively permissive, "open" licensing strategies: rather than privately negotiating license terms with individual users who must first seek out the copyright owner and ask for permission, the copyright owner publishes and distributes the work with a prepared license that anyone can use, as long as they adhere to certain conditions. This has the effect of reducing infringement – and the burden on courts – by simply permitting certain types of uses under terms that the copyright owner considers reasonable. Examples include free software licenses, like the GNU General Public License (GPL), and the Creative Commons licenses, which are predominantly applied to visual and literary works.

question: What do some copyright owners do by reducing the scope of infringement? 

answer: employing relatively permissive, "open" licensing

question: What must a user do under a prepared license? 

answer: adhere to certain conditions

question: Besides lessening the burden on the courts, what is the effect of this license? 

answer: reducing infringement

question: What is an example of a free software license? 

answer: GNU General Public License

question: What works do Creative Commons licenses generally apply to? 

answer: visual and literary works

Context: To prevent piracy of films, the standard drill of film distribution is to have a movie first released through movie theaters (theatrical window), on average approximately 16 and a half weeks, before having it released to Blu-Ray and DVD (entering its video window). During the theatrical window, digital versions of films are often transported in data storage devices by couriers rather than by data transmission. The data can be encrypted, with the key being made to work only at specific times in order to prevent leakage between screens. Coded Anti-Piracy marks can be added to films to identify the source of illegal copies and shut them down. As a result of these measures, the only versions of films available for piracy during the theatrical window are usually "cams" made by video recordings of the movie screens, which are of inferior quality compared to the original film version.

Context: Professor Aram Sinnreich, in his book The Piracy Crusade, states that the connection between declining music sails and the creation of peer to peer file sharing sites such as Napster is tenuous, based on correlation rather than causation. He argues that the industry at the time was undergoing artificial expansion, what he describes as a "'perfect bubble'—a confluence of economic, political, and technological forces that drove the aggregate value of music sales to unprecedented heights at the end of the twentieth century".

Context: The 2011 Business Software Alliance Piracy Study Standard, estimates the total commercial value of illegally copied software to be at $59 billion in 2010, with emerging markets accounting for $31.9 billion, over half of the total. Furthermore, mature markets for the first time received less PC shipments than emerging economies in 2010, making emerging markets now responsible for more than half of all computers in use worldwide. In addition with software infringement rates of 68 percent comparing to 24 percent of mature markets, emerging markets thus possess the majority of the global increase in the commercial value of counterfeit software. China continues to have the highest commercial value of such software at $8.9 billion among developing countries and second in the world behind the US at $9.7 billion in 2011. In 2011, the Business Software Alliance announced that 83 percent of software deployed on PCs in Africa has been pirated (excluding South Africa).
