As stipulated jointly by the parties, Judge Hellerstein granted an extension to the scheduling order. Currently, UMG is seeking leave to amend to add an anti-circumvention violation under the DMCA due to alleged “stream ripping” of sound recordings on YouTube videos. Expect Judge Hellerstein to grant this motion.
The parties requested 2 months more of document production, from Oct. 10, 2025 to Dec. 10, 2025:
Because the original Scheduling Order didn’t set a briefing schedule for summary judgment, no dates are provided in this letter.
