Beckerman also argues that if making available is found to be the same as distributing, it could have broader implications than just sharing files over a P2P network. “Under such an elastic interpretation and ill-defined standards, almost all participants in the Internet would become vulnerable to accusations that they ‘make available’ a variety of content, including copyrighted materials, to users,” he argues in the reply. Think about hyperlinks, which make available other content on the Internet. Providing a hyperlink could be construed as distribution under the RIAA’s definition, argues Beckerman.
