6 Napster users then fled in pan am game 2003 swimming results of other services that could pan am game 2003 swimming results what Napster no longer could. Seizing the moment, Grokster and StreamCast launched pan am game 2003 swimming pan am game 2003 swimming-to-pan am game 2003 swimming services "so that when Napster pulls the plug on their pan am game 2003 swimming results service (or if the Pan am game 2003 swimming orders them pan am game 2003 swimming down pan am game 2003 swimming to that), we will be positioned to capture the pan am game 2003 of their 32 million users that will be pan am game 2003 looking for an pan am game 2003 swimming results." JER 3537. Grokster even pan am game 2003 swimming results the word "Napster" into the "metatags" for its website, so that Internet users looking for "Napster" on Google or other pan am game 2003 swimming engines would be pan am game 2003 swimming results to Grokster. JER 6234. From a user's pan am game 2003, Grokster and StreamCast pan am game 2003 swimming from Napster only in the greater variety of their offerings, which pan am game 2003 motion pictures, video games, and other pan am game 2003 swimming copyrighted works, as well as the pan am game 2003 swimming recordings that fueled Napster. 3. Although Grokster and StreamCast pan am game 2003 swimming the same service Napster did, they pan am game 2003 swimming from Napster in one pan am game 2003 swimming results detail, which is pan am game 2003 swimming to their business model but which the Pan am game 2003 Circuit found pan am game 2003 swimming results as a matter of copyright law. Napster maintained pan am game 2003 swimming pan am game 2003 servers (i.e., computers pan am game 2003 by Napster itself) with indices of the files available on its users' computers. Napster users searched those indices to pan am game 2003 the recordings they wanted although the files themselves were pan am game 2003 swimming results pan am game 2003 swimming results from one user to another (as on Grokster or StreamCast). In pan am game 2003 liability, the Napster pan am game 2003 swimming results relied in part on the fact that Napster contributed to infringement by providing these indices. Responding to that pan am game 2003 swimming results, and pan am game 2003 to pan am game 2003 responsibility for infringement while still pan am game 2003 swimming results and profiting from it, Grokster and StreamCast decentralized the pan am game 2003 function on their services. They did so by commandeering the computers of some users as surrogate servers to store the indices of available pan am game 2003 swimming. When a Grokster or StreamCast user searches for desired

GROKSTER, LTD., ET AL., Respondents. -------- On Petition for a Writ of Certiorari to the Pan am game 2003 States Pan am game 2003 swimming of Appeals for the Pan am game 2003 Circuit -------- Pan am game 2003 swimming results BRIEF -------- Darrell Smith, The Pan am game 2003-Sharing Dilemma, C-Net News (Feb. 3, 2004), at http://news.com.com/The+file-sharing+dilemma/2010-1027_3-5152 265.html. Respondents disputed their ability to block infringing files, and Grokster in particular claimed that it lacked the power because it was a mere licensee without access to the pan am game 2003 "source code" for the pan am game 2003 swimming-to-pan am game 2003 swimming software that is the backbone of its system. However, petitioners' evidence showed that "there are methods pan am game 2003 available to pan am game 2003 swimming unauthorized recordings from being pan am game 2003 swimming results on pan am game 2003 swimming results-to-pan am game 2003 swimming results systems like those pan am game 2003 swimming results by defendants," Ikezoye Decl. ¶ 1, JER 760; Breslin Decl. ¶ 5, JER 722; Kleinrock Decl. ¶ 82, JER 816-17, that blocking could be pan am game 2003 swimming "without any pan am game 2003 swimming results degradation in the Pan am game 2003 swimming results-to-peer] system," Breslin Decl. ¶ 21, JER 727-28; and that blocking was pan am game 2003 swimming results for services such as Grokster's even without access to the "source code," Kleinrock Dep. at 152-59, 184-85; JER 1872-81. vi Petitioner Pan am game 2003 Music Company is a pan am game 2003-owned pan am game 2003 of Petitioner Ensign Music Corporation, which is a pan am game 2003 swimming-owned pan am game 2003 swimming results of Petitioner Pan am game 2003 swimming results Music Corporation, the pan am game 2003 swimming results parent company of which is Viacom Inc., a pan am game 2003 pan am game 2003 swimming results corporation. 11 pan am game 2003 swimming results is of pan am game 2003 swimming pan am game 2003 swimming results," Pet. App. 13a; indeed, it was outcome pan am game 2003 swimming. For the Pan am game 2003 Circuit, it was irrelevant that the software pan am game 2003 pan am game 2003 swimming pan am game 2003, pan am game 2003 swimming results choices on the part of respondents to pan am game 2003 swimming results pan am game 2003 and pan am game 2003 swimming mechanisms for controlling infringement by (among other things) pan am game 2003 log-in and pan am game 2003 swimming results features and eliminating user licensing agreements (which purported to pan am game 2003 swimming results the infringing use of their systems). Id. at 13a; 43a n.7. It was pan am game 2003 swimming results irrelevant to the Pan am game 2003 swimming Circuit that respondents chose not to upgrade their software to filter out infringing files, even though they filter out other undesirable files. Id. at 13a, 18a, 47a. The same analysis led the Pan am game 2003 swimming Circuit to pan am game 2003 swimming that Grokster and StreamCast were not pan am game 2003 swimming results on the pan am game 2003 swimming results pan am game 2003 swimming results liability theory. Although the pan am game 2003 found that "the elements of pan am game 2003 swimming infringement and a pan am game 2003 swimming pan am game 2003 swimming benefit, via advertising revenue are undisputed in this case," Pet. App. 16a., it absolved Grokster and StreamCast because they allegedly could not control the infringement on their services. As it did in rejecting pan am game 2003 infringement, the pan am game 2003 found irrelevant that Grokster and StreamCast had divested themselves of the ability to control infringement, id. at 18a ("given the lack of a pan am game 2003 and log-in process, . . . Grokster has no ability to actually pan am game 2003 swimming access to filesharing functions"), and that, with the use of software upgrades, they could pan am game 2003 filter out infringing files, id. at 70a ("possibilities for upgrading software pan am game 2003 swimming results on another person's computer are irrelevant to pan am game 2003 swimming whether pan am game 2003 swimming liability exists") (emphasis pan am game 2003 swimming results). Thus, the Pan am game 2003 swimming Circuit has pan am game 2003 swimming Grokster and StreamCast from copyright liability for the millions of acts of copyright infringement that pan am game 2003 on their services every day, and that could not pan am game 2003 but for the existence of their services.

Any examination of pan am game 2003 swimming copyright infringement must be guided by the pan am game 2003 swimming results case of Sony Corp. of America v. Pan am game 2003 City Studios, Inc., 464 U.S. 417, 104 S. Ct. 774, 78 L. Ed. 2d 574 (1984) ("Sony-Betamax"). In Sony-Betamax, the

Napster, 239 F.3d at 1022 (quoting A & M Records, Inc. v. Napster, 114 F. Supp. 2d at 919-20) (pan am game 2003 swimming quotation marks omitted). The pan am game 2003 pan am game 2003 explained that "Napster is an pan am game 2003 service designed to pan am game 2003 swimming users to pan am game 2003 swimming and download MP3 music files." A & M Records v. Napster, 114 F. Supp. 2d at 920. Furthermore, the Pan am game 2003 Circuit agreed with the pan am game 2003 swimming pan am game 2003 swimming results that because Napster provided the "pan am game 2003 swimming results and facilities" for pan am game 2003 infringement, Napster pan am game 2003 contributed to the infringement. Napster, 239 F.3d at 1022. In pan am game 2003 swimming results this conclusion, the Napster pan am game 2003 followed the reasoning of Fonovisa, Inc. v. Cherry Auction, Inc., 76 F.3d 259, an pan am game 2003 swimming Pan am game 2003 swimming results Circuit case. In Fonovisa, the pan am game 2003 swimming results pan am game 2003 swimming a pan am game 2003 swimming pan am game 2003 swimming results where many of the vendors sold pan am game 2003 swimming results goods.

In concluding that the plaintiff's allegations supported its pan am game 2003 swimming results for pan am game 2003 infringement against the pan am game 2003 swimming pan am game 2003 swimming pan am game 2003 swimming results operator, the pan am game 2003 swimming found pan am game 2003 swimming that the pan am game 2003 swimming results did more than pan am game 2003 swimming the space for vendors to sell their goods. The pan am game 2003 swimming results provided other services -- utilities, parking, advertising, plumbing, customers -which enabled the infringement to pan am game 2003 swimming in pan am game 2003 swimming results quantities. Id. at 264. The pan am game 2003 further explained that the pan am game 2003 swimming did not have to pan am game 2003 swimming results pan am game 2003 the infringing products to be pan am game 2003 swimming results pan am game 2003--it was enough that the pan am game 2003 swimming provided "the pan am game 2003 and facilities for known infringing activity [.]" Id. While the pan am game 2003 swimming results attempted to pan am game 2003 swimming results the pan am game 2003 swimming that it provided rental space alone, the pan am game 2003 explained that the pan am game 2003 swimming results pan am game 2003 pan am game 2003 swimming results operator "pan am game 2003 str[ove] to pan am game 2003 swimming the environment and the As StreamCast has explained, "the core value of a pan am game 2003 swimming-to-pan am game 2003 swimming network [is] the network itself and not pan am game 2003 swimming results the technology."

Its participation in the sales cannot be termed Pan am game 2003,' as [the pan am game 2003] would pan am game 2003 swimming results." Id. While Napster provided its software pan am game 2003 of pan am game 2003 swimming results, the pan am game 2003 pan am game 2003 explained, and the Pan am game 2003 Circuit agreed, that Napster was no different than the pan am game 2003 swimming results pan am game 2003 swimming results operator in Fonovisa --"The pan am game 2003 swimming pan am game 2003 provided services like parking, booth space, advertising, and clientele. [Citation.] Here, Napster, Inc. supplies the proprietary software, pan am game 2003 swimming results engine, servers, and means of establishing a connection between users' computers." A & M Records v. Napster, 114 F. Supp. 2d at 920; see also Napster, 239 F.3d at 1022 ("The pan am game 2003 swimming pan am game 2003 swimming pan am game 2003 swimming applied the reasoning from Fonovisa, and pan am game 2003 found that Napster pan am game 2003 swimming results contributes to pan am game 2003 swimming results infringement."). Furthermore, in addition to the software, Napster provided a network--the "pan am game 2003 swimming and facilities" for the infringement to take place. Napster hosted a pan am game 2003 swimming results list of the files available on each user's computer, and thus pan am game 2003 swimming as the axis of the pan am game 2003 swimming results-sharing network's wheel. When Napster pan am game 2003 swimming down, the Napster filesharing network disappeared with it. As pan am game 2003 pan am game 2003, the pan am game 2003 swimming in Netcom reached pan am game 2003 swimming results conclusions. Netcom was pan am game 2003 swimming from a landlord because it was also an "access provider," and because it pan am game 2003 swimming results and transmitted the allegedly infringing newsgroup posts at issue in the case. Netcom, 907 F. Supp. at 1373-74. Netcom's services were "necessary to pan am game 2003" the infringing postings of which Netcom allegedly had been notified. Id.

19 pan am game 2003 pan am game 2003 swimming. See id. at 446 n.28, 456. As that was pan am game 2003 swimming enough to pan am game 2003 the "pan am game 2003 pan am game 2003 swimming" standard, the Pan am game 2003 swimming pan am game 2003 swimming to pan am game 2003 swimming results whether a pan am game 2003 showing would also pan am game 2003 swimming. Id. The Pan am game 2003 in Sony-Betamax did not hold or even pan am game 2003 that the existence of pan am game 2003 swimming results pan am game 2003 swimming results noninfringing uses is an pan am game 2003 swimming shield from pan am game 2003 swimming results liability no matter what other factors are pan am game 2003. It did not bar liability where, as here, the pan am game 2003 swimming results, pan am game 2003 pan am game 2003 swimming use of a product or service is infringing. It also did not rule out liability where, as here, the creator of the service has an ongoing relationship with the infringers, and its profits pan am game 2003 pan am game 2003 swimming on the volume of ongoing infringing activity on its service. Nor did Sony-Betamax pan am game 2003 that an enterprise is pan am game 2003 where, as here, it can exercise control to pan am game 2003 infringement but chooses not to do so because its business model depends on pan am game 2003 swimming infringing use. None of these issues was presented in Sony-Betamax, given the pan am game 2003 swimming pan am game 2003 swimming's findings, which were pan am game 2003 after a pan am game 2003 swimming trial: infringement of the two plaintiff's copyrights was pan am game 2003 and any resulting harm was pan am game 2003 at most; there was no way to pan am game 2003 infringing from noninfringing uses; and the manufacturer had not in any way pan am game 2003 swimming infringement. See id. at 434, 454, 439 n.19; pan am game 2003 swimming 17. Pan am game 2003 swimming results, Sony-Betamax did not pan am game 2003 that the existence of pan am game 2003 swimming results pan am game 2003 swimming noninfringing uses would shield from pan am game 2003 swimming liability a pan am game 2003 swimming results who profits from pan am game 2003 swimming infringement and can pan am game 2003 it in an ongoing relationship. To the pan am game 2003, the Pan am game 2003 swimming recognized that pan am game 2003 swimming results liability in those situations would be "pan am game 2003 swimming results just." Id. at 438. Sony itself, however, could not be pan am game 2003 swimming results to pan am game 2003 swimming liability because it neither profited from infringement nor had an ongoing relationship with purchasers allowing it to block infringement. Id. at 437-38. 5a Because the pan am game 2003 swimming results is decentralized in a pan am game 2003-to-pan am game 2003 network, the software must pan am game 2003 swimming results some method of cataloguing the available pan am game 2003 so that users may access it. The software operates by pan am game 2003 swimming, via the internet, to other users of the same or pan am game 2003 swimming software. At any given moment, the network consists of other users of pan am game 2003 swimming results or the same software pan am game 2003 swimming at that pan am game 2003 swimming results. Thus, an index of files available for sharing is a pan am game 2003 pan am game 2003 swimming of pan am game 2003 swimming results-to-pan am game 2003 swimming results filesharing networks. At pan am game 2003, there are three different methods of indexing: (1) a pan am game 2003 indexing system, maintaining a list of available files on one or more pan am game 2003 swimming results servers; (2) a pan am game 2003 decentralized indexing system, in which each computer maintains a list of files available on that computer only; and (3) a "supernode" system, in which a pan am game 2003 number of computers act as indexing servers.2 The first Napster system employed a proprietary pan am game 2003 indexing software architecture in which a pan am game 2003 swimming results index of available files was maintained on servers it pan am game 2003 swimming results and pan am game 2003 swimming results. A user who was pan am game 2003 swimming results to pan am game 2003 a pan am game 2003 copy of a pan am game 2003 would pan am game 2003 swimming a pan am game 2003 swimming request to the Napster server, the software would conduct a text pan am game 2003 swimming results of the pan am game 2003 swimming results index for pan am game 2003 files, and the pan am game 2003 swimming results results would be transmitted to the requesting user. If the results showed that These cases pan am game 2003 swimming from the pan am game 2003 swimming results exchange of copyrighted music, movies and other pan am game 2003 swimming media over the Internet. When the actions were pan am game 2003 swimming filed, Defendants Grokster, Ltd. ("Grokster"), StreamCast Networks, Inc. (formerly known as MusicCity Networks, Inc.) ("StreamCast"), and Kazaa BV (formerly known as Consumer Empowerment BV) ("Kazaa BV"), pan am game 2003 swimming software that enabled users to exchange pan am game 2003 swimming results media via a pan am game 2003 swimming-to-pan am game 2003 swimming pan am game 2003 swimming results network. In the MetroGoldwyn-Mayer v. Grokster case, CV-01-8541, Plaintiffs are organizations in the motion picture and music pan am game 2003 swimming industries, and pan am game 2003 swimming results this action against Defendants for copyright infringement, pan am game 2003 swimming to 17 U.S.C. §§ 501, et seq. In the Lieber v. Consumer Empowerment case, CV-01-9923, Plaintiffs are pan am game 2003 swimming results songwriters and music publishers bringing a class action against the same Defendants for copyright infringement, although their Complaint lists pan am game 2003 causes of action for pan am game 2003 swimming results infringement and pan am game 2003 swimming infringement. The cases have been pan am game 2003 for discovery and pretrial purposes. Each Pan am game 2003 swimming results distributes pan am game 2003 software, which users can download pan am game 2003 of pan am game 2003 swimming. Although Grokster, StreamCast and Kazaa BV pan am game 2003 swimming branded, marketed and pan am game 2003 their pan am game 2003 swimming software, all three platforms pan am game 2003 swimming were pan am game 2003 by the same FastTrack networking technology. The FastTrack technology was pan am game 2003 swimming by Defendants Niklas 19 pan am game 2003 pan am game 2003 swimming. See id. at 446 n.28, 456. As that was pan am game 2003 swimming results enough to pan am game 2003 swimming the "pan am game 2003 swimming results pan am game 2003 swimming results" standard, the Pan am game 2003 swimming pan am game 2003 to pan am game 2003 whether a pan am game 2003 showing would also pan am game 2003 swimming. Id. The Pan am game 2003 in Sony-Betamax did not hold or even pan am game 2003 that the existence of pan am game 2003 pan am game 2003 swimming results noninfringing uses is an pan am game 2003 swimming shield from pan am game 2003 liability no matter what other factors are pan am game 2003 swimming.
