Sony Music Petitions Court for DMCA Subpoena to Identify Cloudflare Infringers

The Japanese parent of Sony Music Entertainment seeks a Digital Millennium Copyright Act subpoena to compel Cloudflare, a content delivery network services provider, to share information “sufficient to identify the persons infringing its copyrighted works” using Cloudflare services, said its petition (docket 3:23-mc-80204), dated Tuesday and posted Thursday in U.S. District Court for Northern California in San Francisco. It has come to Sony’s attention that Cloudflare users are infringing six copyrighted works from Sony’s portfolio, and Sony wants Cloudflare to immediately disable access to the infringing works, said the petition. Cloudflare didn't comment.
