Cartoon Network LP, LLLP v. CSC Holdings, Inc.

How courts have described this case

Verbatim parenthetical descriptions written by other courts when citing this decision. Ranked by citation-network relevance.

• explaining that the statute “imposes two distinct but related requirements: . . . the ‘embodiment requirement’” and “the ‘duration requirement’”
• suggesting that an ISP’s 7 passive display of images “where all copied content was supplied by 8 the customers themselves” would fall short of the requisite volitional 9 conduct because it would be less proximate than even Cablevision’s 10 non‐infringing conduct
• considering “the volitional conduct that causes the copy [of a copyrighted work] to be made.”
• rejecting district court’s view that the Transmit Clause requires a court to consider “not the potential audience of a particular transmission, but the potential audience of the underlying work (ie., ‘the program’) whose content is being transmitted”
• to determine whether a work, is “fixed” in a medium, court must examine whether the work is “embodied” in the medium
• “[E]ach RS-DVR playback transmission is made to a single subscriber using a single unique copy produced by that subscriber”
