WhenU and Huntsman

WhenU (a sibling of Gator) does not infringe trademarks or copyrights, according to a federal judge in the Eastern District of Virginia. The decision was reached in July and the full opinion became available today. Please send a link to the opinion if you can find it. I’d like to take a look at it because the judge’s reasoning might make an interesting parallel to the Huntsman v. Soderburgh case, which addresses DVD players that automatically skip “adult content.” There, as in the WhenU case, the DVD players are used “as a result of the invitation of and consent of the individual … user.”
