Video-sharing Website Not Liable for Contributory Copyright Infringement: Seventh Circuit | Practical Law
In the case of Flava Works, Inc. v. Marques Rondale Gunter, the US Court of Appeals for the Seventh Circuit vacated and remanded a district court's grant of a preliminary injunction for Flava Works on its copyright infringement claims. It found insufficient evidence that myVidster's online video-sharing service was liable for contributory infringement. The Seventh Circuit applied the Supreme Court's eBay standard for injunctive relief where there is no presumption of irreparable harm.
