In Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer Studios v. In , Google launched a project to digitize and index the collections of several research libraries. Google seeks to use the digitized books in its search engine by providing brief, few sentence long or less, search results. Google will then provide links to websites from which the books can be purchased and libraries from which the books can be borrowed. Five publishers have sued Google for copyright infringement, and the Authors Guild has filed a separate class action against Google. Based on the limited quotations actually displayed to the user, Google has argued that its use of the books falls under the fair use provision of the Copyright Act.
The Southern District Court of New York considered what the copyrightable elements of a photograph are. The Court, however, found that Field had granted Google an implicit license by failing to indicate that the content should not be archived, even though he was aware of technical steps to block archiving.
In Perfect 10 v. Google , the adult website and publisher Perfect 10 sued Google for direct and secondary copyright infringement stemming from Google Image Search. Google Image Search indexes images publicly available on the Web and presents the results as thumbnails of and links to responsive images. Google indexed third—party websites that hosted infringing Perfect 10 images and thus linked to and created thumbnails of Perfect 10 images. Perfect 10 sued Google for the thumbnails, the links to the infringing images, and for secondary infringement by creating an audience for the infringing content.
The district court in Perfect 10 v. The court, however, distinguished Perfect 10 v. Google from Kelly v. In Perfect 10, the court found that Google profited from ads placed on the infringing websites.

Senator Ted Stevens introduced S. The bill would have included a broadcast flag requirement similar to the one that the FCC unsuccessfully attempted to enforce in American Library Association v. Federal Communications Commission. While the Senate Commerce Committee approved the broadcast flag provision, the overall bill never passed on the Senate floor. The report explored the orphan works problem, finding that there are no serious arguments questioning the existence of the problem. Additionally, it identified obstacles to identifying and locating rightsholders and the legal background that frames the discussion.

The report included proposed solutions and recommendations, which included requiring a reasonably diligent search before designating a work as an orphan, limitations on remedies available to a plaintiff upon a showing of a reasonably diligent search by defendants, and an attribution requirement when using works reasonably believed to be orphaned.
The First Circuit Court of Appeals held that it did not matter whether the architectural work was actually built, as copyright protection in the work extended to the form as well as the arrangement and composition of spaces and elements expressed tangibly in the blueprint design. The US Court of Appeals for the Second Circuit clarified the extent to which the fair use doctrine is available as an affirmative defense to a claim of infringement in this seminal copyright case involving images reprinted in a coffee table book.
In balancing the four factors of the fair use analysis, the court found that while the images were exact reproductions, and thus copied the entire original work, the use was transformative because the posters were recontextualized and repurposed; the posters were used not for their original advertising purpose but for historical documentation. This analysis led the court to conclude that the use was fair, and that fair use does not necessarily require a literal transformation of the copyrighted work, but rather a transformative i.
These exemptions went into effect on November 27, and would remain in effect until October 27, Under Section , the DMCA provides a safe harbor from liability for Internet service providers who act as mere conduits for infringing content so long as they reasonably implement a policy that terminates the account of a repeat infringer of copyrighted material. The Ninth Circuit found that the defendants maintained the required termination policy and were not unreasonable in their failure to terminate the apparent infringement by clients because they did not have proper notice.
Because Perfect 10 did not fulfill a critical notice requirement— declaring under penalty of perjury that it represents the copyright holder and has a good faith belief that the use is infringing—the defendants were not imputed with knowledge of infringement. Historically, it had been unclear whether punitive damages are available for claims under the federal Copyright Act.
The Sixth Circuit added guidance for the reasonableness of punitive damages based on several factors that the Supreme Court previously set forth for determining the reasonableness of damages. Thus, the court found that the 9. James H. The Act would have also enabled libraries to circumvent technological protections for the purposes of preservation. The court rejected this argument.
The treaty was originally couched in terms of an attempt to update the Rome Convention, but also adds many technologies that did not exist during the Rome Convention.

A revised draft of the treaty was issued in , when various countries including the US sought to exclude webcasting from the treaty.
The district court held that while Katzer might have breached the artistic licensing conditions, this did not give rise to an actionable claim for copyright infringement.

Among other amendments to the Copyright Act, the PRO-Act established that registration is not a prerequisite for criminal prosecution of copyright infringement.

The IGC is charged with the difficult task of providing intellectual property protection for TCEs where the works cannot be easily protected by copyright law or other intellectual property laws. For example, many TCEs do not have one clear author or owner; thus, it is difficult to protect them under US copyright law.
Additionally, WIPO launched the Creative Heritage Project in to develop best practices and guidelines for managing intellectual property issues when recording, digitizing, and disseminating cultural heritage. The court found that the Launch service was not interactive because a user could not request that a particular song be played on demand, and the service did not offer stations specifically designed and created for each individual user.
The court affirmed that under INS v. The court found that these provisions of the DMCA are not limited to removing technological measures of automated systems. In the summer of , J. While the district court issued the preliminary injunction, the US Court of Appeals for the Second Circuit vacated the order explaining that the lower court did not go through the proper test for deciding whether to issue a preliminary injunction—a test set forth by the Supreme Court in eBay v. MercExchange, US The Second Circuit noted that Salinger would likely win on the merits of the case but remanded to the lower court to determine whether a preliminary injunction was a proper remedy considering the following factors set forth in eBay v.
MercExchange: 1 An irreparable injury to plaintiff; 2 Legal monetary remedies are inadequate; 3 Balance of hardships to each party, and 4 The public interest in the preliminary injunction. The appellate court explained that the stamp was not sufficiently transformative in purpose and that the commercial nature of the stamp also weighed against fair use.

Additionally, the appellate court rejected the argument that the US was a co-owner of the copyrighted work merely because it commissioned Gaylord to create the sculptures. The court opined that the US did no more than direct Gaylord to create the sculptures; it did not add any creative or original elements to the work, and therefore could not be considered a joint author of the sculptures. After issuing a Notice of Inquiry and receiving numerous public comments, the Librarian of Congress announced in six classes of works that would be exempt from the Section provisions. The classes of works exempted included: 1 Motion pictures on DVDs to accomplish incorporation of short portions for educational uses in colleges and universities, documentary filmmaking, or noncommercial videos; 2 Computer programs to allow interoperability between wireless telephones and software applications; 3 Computer programs in the form of firmware or software to connect wireless telephones to the telecommunication network; 4 Video games on personal computers for the purpose of testing or correcting security flaws or vulnerabilities; 5 Computer programs protected by dongles that prevent access due to malfunction or damage and which are obsolete; and 6 Literary works in e-book format when all existing e-book editions contain access controls preventing the rendering of text into a specialized format.
These exemptions were announced on July 20, ACTA would cover goods as well as Internet distribution and information technology in an effort to strengthen enforcement of intellectual property rights. The US has signed, but not ratified, ACTA, and as of April , it has not yet secured the six necessary ratifications to enter into force. Notably, in July , the European Parliament rejected ACTA by an overwhelming margin of to 39 with abstentions , and Japan remains the sole country that has ratified the agreement.
In , nine countries of widely differing economic and developmental backgrounds began negotiating a comprehensive, large-scale regional trade agreement known as the Trans-Pacific Partnership Agreement TPP. Canada and Mexico entered the negotiations in December , and Japan became a negotiating party in July The TPP, as a comprehensive agreement, contains more than twenty proposed chapters including one on intellectual property rights, enforceable through the investment chapter which would create independent dispute settlement bodies that would allow private investors to bring suit against governments.
Allowing investor-state dispute settlements has been a controversial issue as enforcement of trade disputes before the World Trade Organization WTO is conducted state-to-state and does not include a mechanisms for individual investors to sue a government. The text of the agreement remains secret and there have been no official releases of the text, resulting in sharp criticism regarding this lack of transparency by civil society and academics as well as numerous members of Congress. While no government has officially released the text, several notable leaks of the text have occurred in the areas of intellectual property, environment, and investment.
The intellectual property chapter leaks reveal a comprehensive chapter that includes substantive provisions on copyright, trademarks, and patents as well as detailed enforcement provisions covering civil, criminal, border measures, and ISP liability.

Critics of the agreement have raised concerns that the intellectual property chapter of the TPP could impact access to medicines and access to knowledge. As of April , a final agreement has yet to be reached, and the intellectual property chapter is widely reported as one of the most controversial issues among the negotiating parties.
Google, a case in which right holders asserted that the scanning of books and creation of a searchable database infringed copyright. Authors Guild and Google reached a settlement agreement which authorized Google the non-exclusive right to continue to digitize books, sell subscriptions to an electronic database, sell access to individual books, and sell advertising on pages from books. In exchange, Google agreed to pay right holders sixty-three percent of all revenues from the uses and that an established book rights registry would administer distribution of the revenues.
Among other issues, these bills were designed to bar payment networks from conducting business with infringing websites, prohibit search engines from linking to infringing websites, require blocking of access to websites, and expand application of criminal penalties.

The World Intellectual Property Organization WIPO Standing Committee on Copyright and Related Rights SCCR has discussed limitations and exceptions for libraries and archives since along with limitations and exceptions for persons with print disabilities and for educational and research institutions.
At the meeting of SCCR 24 in November , Brazil, Ecuador, and Uruguay put forth their proposal on an instrument for limitations and exceptions for libraries and archives; subsequently other delegations put forth proposals on this topic, as well. The Africa Group previously submitted a comprehensive proposal on limitations and exceptions for persons who are visually impaired or otherwise print disabled, libraries and archives, and education. The case involved challenges to a law passed in , implementing the Uruguay Round Agreement, which gave foreign owners of copyright a copyright under United States law for the remainder of the period of the term of protection in their home country.
The works that benefited from this law were not protected by copyright in the United States, resulting in a massive withdrawal of works from the public domain. In April , the Second Circuit ruled in favor of YouTube, finding that the company was protected from liability unless it actually knew of, or was willfully blind to, the specific instances of infringement or facts indicating such infringement.
