Parties in Yout’s Appeal vs. RIAA Ask 2nd Circuit to Hold Oral Argument

Both sides want oral argument in Yout’s 2nd U.S. Circuit Court appeal against the Recording Industry Association of America, said separate signed statements filed Thursday by counsel for Yout and the RIAA (docket 22-2760). Yout’s 2nd Circuit opening brief argued the U.S. District Court for the District of Connecticut “improperly” granted the RIAA’s motion to dismiss Yout’s Digital Millennium Copyright Act complaint, “erroneously concluding” that Yout’s YouTube-ripping software platform was a circumvention tool (see 2302030005). Yout can’t “plausibly plead” it doesn’t violate the statute, said RIAA’s answering brief (see 2305050001).
