BWP Media sued Polyvore, Inc. – the Internet Service Provider behind the website that allows users to share and edit digital photographs – for copyright infringement. In July 2016, the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York held on a motion for summary judgment that the Sony-Betamax case bars all claims for contributory copyright infringement whenever a product or service is “capable of substantial noninfringing uses.” BWP Media appealed to the Second Circuit.
