Links for Week of October 18, 2024

This week, I liked Evan Brown’s post re: a recent case which applied the Video Privacy Protection Act to modern day sharing of viewing history. The FTC issued its final rule on methods to cancel subscriptions. Finally, I liked Professor Goldman’s post on a case holding ISPs contributorily liable for copyright infringement.
