Third-Party Descriptions

January 2005: The court cited a key 1984 case, also brought by the entertainment industry, which argued that Sony Corp.'s Betamax technology for recording television programs allowed for mass copyright infringement. The court sided with Sony, ruling that if a technology had "substantial" legal uses, its purveyors could not be held responsible for illegal activities. Xerox Corp., for example, would not be responsible for illegal copies made on its machines.
