Judge Recommends Allowing Vicarious Liability Claim For Copyright Infringement Against ISP Charter Communications To Proceed
A U.S. Magistrate Judge has issued a decision in Warner Bros. Records Inc. v.

The Magistrate concluded the Plaintiffs have plausibly alleged the infringement of their content is a draw to Charter’s broadband subscribers, and demonstrated a causal relationship between the infringing activity and financial benefit received by Charter.
