摘要

Twenty years ago, copyright owners challenged the legality of the Sony Betamax video tape recorder ("VTR") in the landmark Supreme Court case Sony Corp. of America v. Universal City Studios, Inc. The fundamental question posed to the Court was whether Sony, as the manufacturer of a copying device, could be held secondarily liable for the copyright infringements of its end users. In a 5-4 decision the Court declined to find Sony liable, and articulated a broad standard that shields a technology provider from secondary liability if its product is capable of "substantial noninfringing uses." This past year, in Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer Studios, Inc. v. Grokster, Ltd. ("Grokster II"), the Ninth Circuit affirmed the applicability of the Sony doctrine to peer-to-peer (P2P) file sharing computer software. Specifically, the court determined that P2P software distributors Grokster and StreamCast Networks could not be held liable as contributory copyright infringers because, like Sony in part, their products were capable of substantial noninfringing uses.
