Supreme Court weighs 1980s video rental law against newsletters

Original: Supreme Court case pits 1980s video rental law versus modern newsletters

The US Supreme Court has taken up a case testing whether the Video Privacy Protection Act, a 1980s law written after a Supreme Court nominee's rental records were leaked, applies to modern digital newsletters and online subscriptions. The dispute turns on whether sharing subscribers' reading or viewing habits electronically counts as a forbidden disclosure, with broad implications for media companies and consumer privacy.

Why now: The ruling could reshape how federal privacy law applies to digital media and newsletter subscriptions.
