Proving liability requires establishing that the insurer lacked proper cause or intentionally delayed investigation, triggering separate statutory and tortious damages. Legal claims must account for differing statutes of limitations: two years for bad faith tort actions and four years for breach of contract claims.

Registration is a precondition to suit. Under Fourth Estate v. Wall-Street.com (2019) an infringement action may be filed only after the Copyright Office has acted on the application, not when it is submitted.Timing also decides the remedy. Statutory damages and attorney’s fees under 17 U.S.C. § 412 are unavailable unless the work was registered before the infringement began, or within three months of first publication. Without that, recovery is limited to actual damages and the infringer’s profits, which must be proved. Preliminary relief is no longer presumed. Since eBay v. MercExchange (2006) an injunction requires the four-factor showing, including irreparable harm, and the Second Circuit applies that to copyright. A fair use defense is weighed on all four § 107 factors, and after Warhol v. Goldsmith (2023) the first factor turns on whether the use serves a purpose sufficiently distinct from the original’s.
