Perkins Coie Partner Albert Gidari was quoted this week in an article published in BNA's Privacy & Security Law Report titled "ISPs Allegedly Released Data Without Notice To Meet Flawed Law Enforcement Demands."  (Subscription required to view article.)  The article focuses on three recent class actions filed in Georgia, alleging internet service providers Windstream Corp., Yahoo! Inc., and Comcast Corp., violated federal privacy law when they released subscriber data in response to law enforcement requests without giving the subscribers a chance to object.  Gidari commented on the lack of the likelihood of success of the actions.
