Filmmakers and ISP WOW! Settle Piracy Liability Lawsuit Before Trial

The long-running piracy liability lawsuit between filmmakers and internet provider WOW! has ended with a quiet settlement. In late March, a Colorado federal court refused to resolve the ISP's safe harbor defense on summary judgment. Instead of going to trial, both sides walked away. The settlement follows the Supreme Court's Cox decision, which had reshaped secondary liability earlier this year.
