"The practice of embedding copyrighted content is now so widespread, it is vital that the courts find some consistency in their treatment, but the language of the Copyright Act may not clearly provide the appropriate answers."
"In Perfect 10, several individuals downloaded copyrighted photos from Perfect 10's private 'members only' website, and then posted them on their own publicly available websites so that anyone could freely view them."
The legal landscape surrounding the embedding of copyrighted content has shifted following the Goldman v. Breitbart News Network case. Previously, embedding was thought to be lawful based on the Perfect 10, Inc. v. Amazon.com, Inc. ruling. However, the New York district court judge in Goldman challenged this assumption, suggesting that embedding may constitute a public display. This change raises concerns for those who frequently embed third-party content, highlighting the need for clearer legal guidelines in the context of evolving technology and copyright law.
