The U.S. Court of Appeals for the Second Circuit (Court) recently issued a momentous ruling in a class action under the Video Privacy Protection Act (VPPA) that has the potential to expand the scope of VPPA litigation within the circuit, and perhaps beyond. In this guest article, Blank Rome partners Phil Yannella and Harrison Brown, and associate Victor Sandoval, analyze the Court’s ruling, which takes an expansive view of the VPPA’s definitions of “consumer” and “video-tape service provider,” and offer practical insights on how companies can defend VPPA cases moving forward.
