    Post IP Address is Not Enough to Identify Pirate

    Code:
    https://torrentfreak.com/ip-address-is-not-enough-to-identify-pirate-us-court-of-appeals-rules-180828/
    In this copyright action, we consider whether a bare
    allegation that a defendant is the registered subscriber of an
    Internet Protocol (“IP”) address associated with infringing
    activity is sufficient to state a claim for direct or contributory
    infringement. We conclude that it is not.

    After tracing infringement of its copyrights to a
    particular IP address, Cobbler Nevada, LLC filed suit against
    the John Doe IP address for direct and contributory
    copyright infringement. Cobbler Nevada soon discovered
    that the IP address was registered to Thomas Gonzales, who
    operated an adult foster care home. Cobbler Nevada then
    amended its complaint to name Gonzales as the sole
    defendant, alleging that he directly infringed by copying and
    distributing copyrighted works himself or, in the alternative,
    contributed to another’s infringement by failing to secure his
    internet connection.

    The district court properly dismissed Cobbler Nevada’s
    claims. The direct infringement claim fails because
    Gonzales’s status as the registered subscriber of an
    infringing IP address, standing alone, does not create a
    reasonable inference that he is also the infringer. Because
    multiple devices and individuals may be able to connect via
    an IP address, simply identifying the IP subscriber solves
    only part of the puzzle. A plaintiff must allege something
    more to create a reasonable inference that a subscriber is also
    an infringer. Nor can Cobbler Nevada succeed on a
    contributory infringement theory because, without
    allegations of intentional encouragement or inducement of
    infringement, an individual’s failure to take affirmative steps
    to police his internet connection is insufficient to state a
    claim.
