Sony Corp. v. Universal City Studios, 464 U.S. 417 (1984) (15659 words) |
 | This case does not fall in the category of those in which it is manifestly just to [464 U.S. impose vicarious liability because the "contributory" infringer was in a position to control the use of copyrighted works by others and had authorized the use without permission from the copyright owner. |
| A timer in the Betamax can be used to activate and deactivate the equipment at predetermined [464 U.S. times, enabling an intended viewer to record programs that are transmitted when he or she is not at home. |
| [464 U.S. Having bypassed the initial hurdle for establishing that a use is fair, the Court then purports to apply to time-shifting the four factors explicitly stated in the statute. |
