Courts have grappled with the extent to which a site that merely lists URLs is responsible for infringement. In the United States, the Perfect 10, Inc. v.

Universal Music Corp. ) have reinforced that facilitating access to copyrighted material can constitute contributory infringement, especially when the aggregator is aware of the infringing nature of the linked content.
