1:00 pm - 2:00 pm ESTThis session examines the emerging litigation strategy of bringing DMCA §1201 anti-circumvention claims against AI scrapers, including the statutory damages and fee-shifting remedies available under 17 U.S.C. §1203. Attorneys will analyze the leading pending cases — Reddit v. SerpApi, Google v. SerpApi, Bartz v. Anthropic, and the YouTube creator lawsuits — to understand how courts are evaluating circumvention theories, CMI stripping under §1202, and parallel CFAA and state-law tracks. Attendees will leave with a working framework for choosing the right cause of action, building a circumvention evidence record, and calculating per-act statutory damages in high-volume scraping disputes.
Christopher E. Hart 2:10 pm - 3:10 pm ESTThis session covers the transactional and IP preparatory steps content owners must take before a scraping lawsuit is viable — from timely copyright registration and enforceable terms of service to DMCA § 1201 technical protection measures and clean rights chains. Attorneys will learn how recent case law, including X Corp. v. Bright Data and Thomson Reuters v. Ross Intelligence, reshapes the enforceability of common content-protection strategies. Attendees leave with a concrete pre-suit documentation framework and an understanding of the contractual and technical infrastructure required to maximize recovery against AI scrapers.
