• Commentary: Criminal Law: Law

The generally accepted meaning of the term "offer of proof" is to summarize the substance or content of the evidence. People v Williams, 81 NY2d 303, 313 (1993). The term is found in two sections of the Criminal Procedure Law, 290.10(3) (trial order of dismissal) and 60.42(5) (rape shield law). The offer is made outside the jury's presence. In essence, the propounding party states to the court what the witness would have said in response to questioning, and what that response would prove. See People v Williams, 81 NY2d 303 (1993).

• Cops, Robbers, and Search Engines: The Questionable Role of Criminal Law in Contributory Infringement Doctrine

Online technologies have created a new litigation locus for the owners of copyrights, patents, and trademarks. Once content to prosecute only actual infringers, intellectual property rights holders now focus their attention on intermediaries that provide the means for massive simultaneous infringement by thousands of separate Internet users. Without a developed body of intellectual property case law on which to base their opinions, federal courts have resorted to importing secondary liability principles from other bodies of law to justify their decisions. In shaping the modern rules of contributory infringement, judges are relying on indirect liability doctrines from common law tort and criminal law. Contributory infringement law and its criminal law counterpart, known as "accomplice li...
