Practice question
A defendant directly reproduces protected expression without authority, and every element of direct civil infringement is proved with no limitation or fair-use defense. He relies solely on good faith. Under Wolfpac, does that alone defeat direct infringement?
- No; the main decision explains the strict-liability rule for direct infringement
- Yes; good faith automatically licenses the reproduction
- Yes; lack of intent always defeats every copyright claim
- No; because statutory defenses never exist
- Yes; an honest belief transfers ownership
