Robert W. Clarida, a partner at Cowan, Liebowitz & Latman, and Robert J. Bernstein, a past president of the Copyright Society of the U.S.A., review recent developments in the ongoing judicial battle over the making-available right.

The act does not define the word "distribute" but the statute does not by its terms require that distribution must involve or result in a physical copy literally moving from one place to another.

Clarida discuss the case.
