Court Rejects Charter Seeking Music Piracy Suit Dismissal

U.S. District Judge Brooke Jackson in Denver shot down Charter Communications' bid for dismissal of a lawsuit by music labels claiming Charter abetted copyright infringement by some of its broadband subscribers. In an order Monday (docket 21-cv-02020, in Pacer), Jackson said he had "no reason to rule differently on the motion to dismiss in the present case" than his April 2020 order denying a Charter motion to dismiss a related copyright infringement suit (see 2004160002). Charter didn't comment.
