A Berkeley Technology Law Journal symposium panel examined how the Supreme Court’s unanimous 2025 decision in Cox Communications, Inc. v. Sony Music Entertainment overhauled a half-century of contributory copyright infringement doctrine, sharply narrowing secondary liability to two specific fact patterns—inducement and tailored material contribution—while leaving platforms, AI gatekeepers, and lower courts without coherent guidance on how the new framework interacts with the broader architecture of copyright enforcement.
