September 1, 2009 -- Brown Bag Discussion: CNN v. Cablevision
12:00 - 1:30 PM, Room 520
The first presentation for this semester highlights and introduces Chicago-Kent IP faculty in a discussion of the recent Cablevision DVR remote storage case. Professor Hank Perritt will lead a panel that includes Professors Ron Staudt and Ed Lee.
The U.S. District Court ruled that the process of program storage and transfer to a subscriber from Cablevision's remote-storage DVR system directly infringed the content owners' copyrights. On appeal, the Second Circuit reversed on all three grounds and found no direct infringement. The petition for certiorari to the Supreme Court was denied. In order not to "relitigate" Sony issues, the content owners agreed not to pursue secondary liability charges in return for Cablevision's agreement not to use a fair use defense.
Many issues remain unanswered and many new issues have arisen from the Second Circuit's analysis. Join the IP Program faculty for a spirited discussion. Beverages will be provided.
