9th Circuit Eyeing Oral Argument in YouTubers’ Ore. ARL Appeal vs. Google

The 9th U.S. Circuit Appeals Court is considering for August oral argument in San Francisco the appeal of three YouTubers who allege that Google violated Oregon’s Automatic Renewal Law (ARL), said a text-only docket notice Thursday (docket 23-35465). The YouTubers contend that the district court erred June 15 when it granted YouTube’s motion to dismiss their second amended complaint (see 2311210030). They contend that YouTube was required under the Oregon statute to disclose, in a “clear and conspicuous manner,” five “specifically enumerated automatic renewal offer terms.” The plaintiff-appellants are three Oregon residents who enrolled in YouTube subscription services and allege that YouTube didn’t comply with any of the ARL’s requirements.
