Amicus Brief Submitted in Arista v. Lime Wire on Secondary Liability and Inducement

Several groups, including SLA, submitted an amicus brief on the issue of 'secondary liability' and the 'inducement' rule in the case of Arista Records v. Lime Wire. 

In the case, Arista seeks to hold Lime Wire liable for acts of copyright infringement by users of its software. The brief serves as a reminder that "the law requires caution in assessing whether to impose copyright liability on the makers of multi-use technologies."
