Copyright Office Version of Induce Act
Here is a Discussion Draft from the US Copyright Office for a new version of the Induce Act. Containing the short title of "Inducing Infringement of Copyrights Act of 2004". This draft hopes to reduce the impact of the Induce act on hardware manufacturers but would completely outlaw P2P networks. The main difference between this version of Induce and the original version of Induce is the description of what constitutes inducement.
Under this draft, it would make things more difficult for a company to be charged for copyright violations. This draft suggests that a company has to intentionally induce people to perform copyright violations. It also defines induce to be an "affirmative, overt act" that is "reasonably expected to cause or persuade" violations of copyright law.
