What happened to the Magistrate’s 4/26 Order requiring ReplayTV to spy on its customers?
On May 31st, District Court Judge Cooper set aside the Magistrate’s discovery order which would have required ReplayTV to re-write its software to collect information about the viewing habits of its customers and turn that information over to Hollywood in the underlying lawsuit. ReplayTV objected to the discovery order and several groups (including EFF) weighed in with the court through amicus briefs arguing the discovery order violates the privacy rights of the ReplayTV owners.
