Secondary copyright infringement is a legal theory that permits a person to be held responsible for copyright infringement, even though they didn't engage in the actual infringement activities themselves. It involves the defendant causing, compelling, or contributing to material copyright infringement activities.
The plaintiff in a copyright infringement lawsuit has the burden of proving two elements: that they own a copyright, and that the defendant infringed it. To establish ownership of a valid copyright, a plaintiff must demonstrate that the work is original, and that it is subject to legal protection.
Secondary liability is also referred to as indirect infringement. It is best defined as a legal obligation, forcing an individual to assume responsibility for another person's act or behavior. Examples of secondary liabilities include principle liability, employers' liability and parental liability.
Overview. Contributory infringement is a form of secondary liability for direct infringement of a patent, copyright, or trademark. It is a means by which a person may be held liable for infringement even though they did not actually engage in infringing activities.
In primary infringement, the defendants are directly involved in copying, performing, and issuing to the public the copyright work, whereas secondary infringement involves people who deal with infringing copies, or facilitate such copying or other activities that are restricted by copyright.
Examples of secondary infringement include: Importing infringing copy. Possession of or dealings with infringing copy. Providing the opportunity for making infringing copies.
There are two types of infringement: primary and secondary. A primary infringement involves a direct infringement by the defendant. Secondary infringement happens if someone facilitates another person or group in infringing on a copyright.
