This precedent was later invoked in MGM v. Grokster (2005), where the high court agreed that the same "substantial noninfringing uses" standard applies to authors and vendors of peer-to-peer file sharing software (notably excepting those who "actively induce" copyright infringement through "purposeful, culpable expression and conduct").
Preseden ini kemudian dipanggil dalamMGM v. Grokster(2005), di mana pengadilan tinggi sepakat bahwa yang sama "noninfringing substansial menggunakan" standar berlaku untuk penulis dan vendor ] file sharing perangkat lunak (terutama kecuali mereka yang "aktif menginduksi" pelanggaran hak cipta melalui "ekspresi tujuan, bersalah dan melakukan").
