| Title: | Piggybackers and freeloaders: platform economics and indirect liability
for copyright infringement |
| Authors: | Orbach, Barak Y. - University of Arizona |
| Keywords: | copyright, platform markets |

| Abstract: | Many, if not most, copyright cases of alleged indirect liability for
copyright infringement arise in platform markets: One of the litigating
parties is a market intermediary that connects members of different
distinct groups. Indirect liability for copyright infringement is still
controversial and frequently litigated. This paper develops an
analytical framework that is applicable to many of the debated cases.
The presented framework offers strong justifications for the imposition
of indirect liability for copyright infringement in platform markets and
offers tools to establish certain elements of indirect liability for
copyright infringement. |
