Concerning DMCA, Supreme Court Won’t Hear Porn Studio’s Copyright Lawsuit

The Supreme Court declined to hear a case involving a pornography studio’s lawsuit attempting to hold a content website liable for user-uploaded copyright-infringing material. Without sending takedown notices, Ventura Content sued Motherless.com for hosting copyright infringing material. The U.S. Court of Appeals for the 9th Circuit ruled in favor of Motherless, saying a website operator can't lose its Digital Millennium Copyright Act safe harbor protections when reasonably monitoring for infringing content.
