Issues: (1) Whether the U.S. Court of Appeals for the 4th Circuit erred in holding that a service provider can be held liable for “materially contributing” to copyright infringement merely because
it knew that people were using certain accounts to
infringe and did not terminate access, without proof
that the service provider affirmatively fostered infringement or otherwise intended to promote it; and (2) whether the 4th Circuit erred in holding that mere
knowledge of another’s direct infringement suffices
to find willfulness under 17 U.S.C. § 504(c).
