Texas Court Rejects ISP’s Attempt to Dismiss Copyright Infringement Lawsuit – Grande Communications is Latest Broadband Provider Entangled in DMCA Litigation

A Magistrate Judge for the U.S. District Court for the Western District of Texas, Austin Division, has issued a report and recommendation that rules on two motions to dismiss in UMG Recordings, Inc., et al., v. Grande Communications Networks, LLC, and Patriot Media Consulting, LLC. The case concerns a copyright infringement lawsuit filed by a vast group of owners of copyrighted music against Grande Communications, an Internet service provider located in Texas. Grande’s consultant is also named as a defendant in the suit. The pleadings and the Magistrate’s report address many of the same Digital Millennium Copyright Act issues involved in the Fourth Circuit’s recent decision in BMG v. Cox Communications.
