Oral Argument Set for Tuesday in AHRA Complaint Against Ford, GM

Oral argument is scheduled for Tuesday at 10:30 a.m. in U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia in the 3-year-old complaint by the Alliance of Artists and Recording Companies that the car infotainment systems marketed by Ford and General Motors violate the Audio Home Recording Act (AHRA) (see 1407310086). The automakers are asking U.S. District Judge Ketanji Jackson to grant them summary judgment in the case on grounds that their infotainment systems are not digital audio recording devices as defined in the AHRA.
