But few court opinions or scholarly articles have given due consideration to what it means to “know” of someone else’s infringing conduct, particularly when the unlawfulness at issue cannot truly exist until a legal judgment occurs. How can one “know,” in other words, that a court or jury will deem a particular use infringement rather than de minimis or fair use? At best, contributory defendants engage in a predictive exercise — in some cases, a more certain one, to be sure, but a predictive exercise nonetheless. To recognize this is not a mere semantic excursion: once a decision maker has determined that infringement has occurred, it is more likely, through hindsight bias, to determine that a defendant “knew” of this infringement at the relevant time, despite the realities of monitoring and assessing content. Drawing on both the legal and epistemological literature, this Article recommends a better framing for the issue of knowledge in contributory infringement doctrine — an approach that has implications not only for copyright law but for the regulation of online content more generally. 000042045 650_0 $$aCopyright 000042045 650_0 $$aDMCA 000042045 650_0 $$aKnowledge 000042045 650_0 $$aContributory infringement 000042045 85641 $$uhttps://papers.ssrn.com/sol3/papers.cfm?abstract_id=3629641$$yView this resource 000042045 904__ $$aArticle 000042045 980__ $$aBIB
