Original Court Document: View Document
The Michigan Supreme Court has acknowledged a certified question from the United States Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit regarding the case of Peter Deacon v. Pandora Media, Inc. The Court has ordered that oral arguments be scheduled to consider whether to grant the request to respond to the certified question. The focus is on whether Deacon has presented a valid claim against Pandora under the Michigan Video Rental Privacy Act, specifically whether Pandora qualifies as a business that “rents” or “lends” sound recordings and whether Deacon qualifies as a “customer” by “renting” or “borrowing” these recordings. Parties involved are required to file supplemental briefs within 42 days, ensuring these briefs do not simply reiterate previous submissions. The Intellectual Property Law Section of the State Bar of Michigan is invited to submit an amicus curiae brief, and other interested individuals or groups may also seek permission to file amicus curiae briefs. The order was certified by Clerk Larry S. Royster on September 25, 2015.
