Identify the central doctrine governing copyright infringement and apply it to the following scenario: A Filipino fashion retailer, KulturaKnit, downloads an original digital illustration titled “LumenSilk” created by local designer Mina Reyes in 2023. The work is not registered. The retailer prints 3,000 t-shirts bearing the design for nationwide sale after downloading it from an online marketplace “LicenseBridge,” which claims to hold a worldwide license for commercial merchandise and provides a direct download. LicenseBridge does not own the rights to LumenSilk. Is KulturaKnit liable for copyright infringement?

Choose the Best Answer

The work being unregistered bars enforcement, so KulturaKnit cannot be liable for infringement in this scenario. There is no liability because copyright protection in the Philippines attaches only to registered works and non-registered works are not protected. Yes. KulturaKnit is directly liable for copyright infringement because it reproduced and distributed the design on 3,000 shirts without the copyright owner's consent, and LicenseBridge's claim to license the work is ineffective since LicenseBridge does not own the rights. KulturaKnit is not liable if it can prove it relied in good faith on the marketplace's representation that it held a license, since misrepresentation by a license seller can excuse the buyer if they lacked knowledge.
