Identify the central doctrine governing copyright infringement and apply it to the following scenario: An original digital illustration titled “Stellar Weave” was created by Nia Reyes, a Filipino digital artist, in 2023. The work is not registered. A fashion retailer, Velveteen Threads, downloads Stellar Weave from an online marketplace “LicenseBridge” that claims to hold a worldwide license for commercial merchandise and provides a direct download. Velveteen Threads prints 2,800 t-shirts nationwide bearing the design after downloading from LicenseBridge. LicenseBridge does not own the rights to Stellar Weave. Is Velveteen Threads liable for copyright infringement?

Choose the Best Answer

Yes. Velveteen Threads is liable for copyright infringement because it reproduced and distributed a copyrighted work without the consent of the copyright owner, and a license claim by LicenseBridge does not authorize use if LicenseBridge does not own the rights. Yes. The defense of fair use could apply if the use is transformative or for commentary, which would negate liability. Yes. Velveteen Threads could be liable for contributory infringement because it knowingly relied on a license from a third party that did not own the rights and did not verify the license. No. The work is not registered; registration is what protects a work from exploitation.
