(“ALS”) will, and hereby does, move for partial summary judgment against Defendant Cloudflare Inc. (“Cloudflare”). Fed. R. Civ. P. 56(a). The motion will be made on the grounds that no reasonable juror could fail to find Cloudflare contributorily liable for infringement of ALS’s copyrights on Cloudflare’s client’s sites. The motion will also be made on the grounds that: a) Cloudflare does not enjoy a safe harbor for copyright infringement under 17 U.S.C. § 512(a) because Cloudflare’s contributory liability does not arise from passive conduit operations; b) Cloudflare does not enjoy a safe harbor for copyright infringement under 17 U.S.C. § 512(b) because that safe harbor pertains to caching content for later queries by the service providers own users, whereas Cloudflare caches content for later retrieval by the users of other service providers; and c) in any event Cloudflare has failed to meet the conditions for safe harbor eligibility under 17 U.S.C. § 512(i), by failing to either adopt or reasonably implement a policy of termination of the accounts of repeat infringers. The motion will be based upon this notice, the Memorandum and Declarations of Sarah Walsh, Eric Penn, Steve Easton and Jay Spillane, and the Separate Statement and Order, the Depositions of Cloudflare personnel and the materials filed manually, all submitted concurrently, the pleadings in this case and any other matter that the Court may consider at the hearing.
