Although courts in at least two decisions ' Ticketmaster Corp. v. Tickets.com, Inc., 2000 WL 525390 (C.D. Cal. 2000) and Bernstein v. J.C. Penney, Inc., 1998 WL 906644 (C.D.

Funeral Depot, Inc., Case No. 1:02-cv-1011-DFH-TAB (in a decision labeled, “not intended for publication in print,” Nov. 10, 2004), concluded that a defendant's use of hyperlinks on a Web site that link to copyrighted material on another Web site could constitute unlawful copyright infringement.
