Blizzard v BNETD and MDY

Blizzard makes WoW, World of Warcraft and other games. The WoW franchise has led to two lawsuits: Blizzard v BNETD and Blizzard v MDY. Both cases have potentially deep repercurssions -- the first has been settled, the second is currently under appeal.

Blumenthal v Drudge

In Blumenthal v Drudge (and AOL) the suit against AOL was
dismissed, largely because of section 230 of the Communications Decency Act. See the Citizen Media Law summary of the case and a Wikipedia entry for the related Zeran v AOL case.

Perfect 10

Perfect 10 sued several companies when it began losing customers, perhaps most famously it sued Google. Here is the EFF archive of Perfect 10 v Google, a Techdirt summary of some of Perfect 10's lawsuits, the ILT (Internet Law Treatise) summary and the Wikipedia entry on the case.

Verizon and the RIAA

In a recent CNET News article Verizon indicates it will pass on notices of purported copyright violations to subscribers in its role as ISP.

Is this in contrast to a court case from 2002/2003 in which Verizon refused to supply identifying data to the RIAA when the RIAA used the DMCA in what it viewed as a legitimate application of that law to subpoena records. See the
Verizon Archive of the case and the EFF archive.

Ultimately Verizon won this case when the Supreme Court let stand a Circuit Court of Appeals decision that Verizon did not have to provide the information that the RIAA requested.
