ICLE Amicus Brief in ACA Connects et al v Beccera

ICLE supports the appeal filed by ACA Connects et al. seeking review of the district court’s denial of a preliminary injunction. As detailed herein, the district court failed to consider economic and empirical realities that militate in favor of finding irreparable harm to the Appellants’ members. Moreover, the same economic and empirical realities tip the balance of equities in favor of the Appellants, and establish that the public interest is in granting a preliminary injunction against enforcement of the California Internet Consumer Protection and Net Neutrality Act of 2018.

We believe that Section 512 revisions should create greater incentives for online service providers to prevent unauthorized dissemination in the first place. Ideally, service providers should license the content so that copyright holders, Internet users, and OSPs themselves can all benefit from a healthier online ecosystem.
