Custom Hardware Engineering repairs, on behalf of third-parties, data tapes manufactured by StorageTek. StorageTek asserted copyright infringement and certain D.M.C.A. claims because Custom Hardware made copies of tapes while repairing. The C.A.F.C. found that Custom Hardware's conduct may be within the scope of the copyright license granted to the third-party and the conduct may fall into the safe harbor provisions of the D.M.C.A.
