	FMC \| Understanding the INDUCE Act
		The dispute over the INDUCE Act is largely taking place between the content creators, which support the protection of their copyrights, and the technology industries, which fear that the bill attacks their current and future innovations.
		Another supporting argument for the INDUCE Act is that it should stop corporations that are operating by intentionally structuring their businesses to avoid secondary liability for copyright infringement.
		The INDUCE Act has great potential to hurt the development of new technologies because it decreases the incentive to innovate as well as the incentive for venture capitalists to invest.

	Corante > The Importance of... > INDUCE Act
		One of the most devastatingly bad things that the INDUCE Act does is that it blows up the relatively clear lines of contributory and vicarious copyright infringment to extend liability into an ever more diffuse cloud of causality.
		According to the INDUCE Act, "intent [to induce] may be shown by acts from which a reasonable person would find intent to induce infringement based upon all relevant information about such acts then reasonably available to the actor." This is an incredibly low standard.

	USATODAY.com - Tech firms craft alternative to anti-piracy bill (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-11)
		The companies behind the alternative to the so-called Induce Act want to restrict the scope of the proposed bill, which would essentially make companies liable if their software or technology encourages users to violate copyright laws.
		Critics of the Induce bill have argued that, in its current form, it could be used as the basis of a copyright infringement case against a company like Apple on grounds that its popular iPod digital music player encourages owners to copy music, perhaps without permission.
		The tech firms' alternative Induce bill narrows the scope of the bill to target P2P software companies by specifying the grounds under which a firm would be found to be encouraging copyright infringement, Deutsch said.

	DRM Watch: Hearings Held on "Induce" Act for Anti-Piracy
		Hearings took place today on the Inducing Infringement of Copyrights Act of 2004 (known as the "Induce Act" for short), sponsored by Senate Judiciary Chairman Orrin Hatch (R-UT), the latest manifestation of the media industry's strategy to crack down on music piracy through legislation.
		The battle lines have been drawn on this bill for some time now and are similar to those that formed over the last attempt to solve this problem legislatively, the Hollings Bill of 2002: major media industry representatives on one side, and a range of technology companies and consumer advocacy organizations on the other.
		The intent of the Induce Act is to give the media industry a legal basis for shutting down file-sharing networks such as KaZaA, Grokster, and Morpheus through claims that they are liable for "inducing" end-users to infringe copyright.

		Proposed in late May, the Pirate Act would make petty copyright infringement a crime, as opposed to being the civil violation that it currently is. Massive acts of piracy are, of course, criminal acts, especially when they involve racketeering and unauthorized sales of copyrighted material.
		Induce allegedly stands for "Inducement Devolves into Unlawful Child Exploitation Act," and it furthers Hatch's exploitation of children-centered concerns in his quest to appease deep-pocketed entertainment companies.
		In short, the act seeks to hold liable anything and everything that could be used to infringe copyrights.

	IPTAblog: Induce Act Roundup
		Fred von Lohmann broke the news that song writing Senator Orrin Hatch plans to introduce the awkwardly-named INDUCE Act ("Inducement Devolves into Unlawful Child Exploitation Act of 2004"), which amend §501 of the Copyright Act to add inducement to copyright infringement as another ground for copyright infringement.
		See 35 U.S.C. 271(b): "whoever actively induces infringement of a patent shall be liable as an infringer." Of course, patent law provides for much stricter protection against infringement for a shorter time period than copyright law.

		The Bill (Inducing Infringement of Copyrights Act of 2004, to give its full title) adds the same liabilities for copyright infringement to anyone who "intentionally induces", via a product or service, acts of copyright infringement.
		The substance of the bill remains the same, despite the addition of language which appears to permit "fair use." Such provisions are made irrelevant by the remaining language which allows manufacturers of VCRs, PVRs and PCs to become liable for inducement.
		The "actor must have engaged in conscious and deliberate affirmative acts which a reasonable person would expect to result in widespread violations of subsection (a) taking into consideration a totality of the circumstances." Even with such waffle, the bill remains essentially the same.
