NVIDIA’s Shadow Library Scripts ‘Have No Other Purpose’ Than Infringement, Judge Rules

An AI contributory infringement lawsuit against NVIDIA can proceed, even under the Supreme Court's recent Cox v. Sony framework, a federal judge ruled this week. The court denied NVIDIA's motion to dismiss in large part, concluding that some of the company's scripts had no purpose other than to enable infringement. The chip maker's request to strike all BitTorrent references was also denied, with Judge Tigar noting that "BitTorrent is merely a tool."
