Principle JustifyDiff: Medium
Logic Breakdown
Passage Summary: A store is being held responsible for copyright theft because a customer used one of their photo machines to print pictures they didn't have the rights to.
Conclusion: Grandview Department Store is guilty of copyright infringement.
Reasoning: A customer used the store's self-service kiosk to print copyrighted photos, and the governing principle states that knowingly aiding infringement makes one guilty.
Analysis: To justify this application, we need to connect the store's actions to the 'knowingly aiding' requirement of the principle. The stimulus tells us the customer infringed, but it doesn't explicitly state that Grandview knew about it or that providing a kiosk constitutes 'aiding.' Look for an answer that bridges this gap by assuming Grandview had knowledge of the customer's specific actions. Without that link, the 'knowingly' part of the principle remains unsatisfied.

Unlock Full Passage14.Which one of the following, if assumed, most helps to justify the application of the principle?
Correct Answer
E
E directly supplies the missing link: if you provide a service that can be expected to be used to infringe, you are to be considered as knowingly aiding any infringer who uses it. That classification satisfies the principle’s “knowingly aiding” requirement and makes the application valid.
