WOW Seeks Dismissal of Copyright Infringement Suit

Plaintiffs claiming secondary copyright infringement liability by WideOpenWest for movie pirating by its broadband subscribers are "part of a well-known web of copyright trolls" and haven't shown any WOW subscriber committed direct infringement or that WOW had knowledge of alleged infringements, the cable ISP told U.S. District Court in Colorado in a Tuesday motion to dismiss (docket 21-cv-01901, in Pacer). Outside counsel for plaintiffs 211 Productions and others didn't comment.
