In Re Aimster Copyright Litig.

From Internet Law Treatise

252 F. Supp. 2d 634 (N.D. Ill. 2002)

The Aimster peer-to-peer file sharing system was found ineligible for Section 512 safe harbor because Aimster had not implemented a ‘repeat infringer’ policy because it had actual and constructive knowledge of the infringing activity, and because a monthly service charge provided financial benefit.
