11.1.9 Indirect Infringement is a type of copyright infringement in which a person or entity does not directly violate the rights of the copyright owner, but instead facilitates or enables someone else to do so. It can involve a variety of activities, including providing access to copyrighted works, distributing devices that allow users to access copyrighted works, and providing services that support the infringement of copyrighted works. There are three main types of 11.1.9 Indirect Infringement: contributory infringement, vicarious infringement, and inducement to infringe. Contributory infringement is when a person or entity provides the means to violate copyright through knowledge or providing the tools to do so. Vicarious infringement occurs when a person or entity profits from someone else’s violation of copyright. Inducement to infringe occurs when a person or entity encourages or instructs others to violate copyright.
