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.

Although a federal copyright registration provides benefits, such as access to federal courts and potential statutory damages, copyright exists as soon as the work is fixed in a tangible medium of expression. To prove infringement, a copyright owner must show the accused copied protected elements of the work, either by direct evidence of copying or by showing access and substantial similarity to the copyrighted work. Trademark infringement is based on use of a trademark that is likely to cause confusion with the trademark of a competitor. Unlike co...
