Winston & Strawn's Amelia Garza-Mattia, senior associate in the firm's Global Privacy & Data Security Practice, was quoted in a Law360 article discussing what to expect in oral arguments for the Salazar v. Paramount Global U.S. Supreme Court case. The case asks the justices to consider what criteria consumers need to meet in order to sue under the federal Video Privacy Protection Act (VPPA), a law enacted in 1988 that prohibits the unauthorized disclosure of certain personal information belonging to “consumers” that rent, purchase, or subscribe to “goods and services from a video tape service provider,” and whether that statute applies to a consumer who doesn’t directly subscribe to audiovisual goods or services.
