New Class Action Complaint Alleges Privacy Violations by ISP Using NebuAd Device
A class action complaint filed on December 9, 2009, in Illinois federal court alleges that WideOpen West, Finance, LLC (”WOW”), an Internet service provider, violated its users’ privacy by “installing spyware devices on its broadband networks.” Valentine v. WideOpen West (N.D. Ill., No. 1:09-cv-07653). This action against WOW follows the October 6, 2009, dismissal by a district court in California of similar claims against six out-of-state ISP defendants (including WOW) filed in November 2008 by the same lead plaintiff. The court in Valentine v. NebuAd, Inc. et al. (N.D. Cal., No. 3:08-cv-05113) found that the ISP defendants were not subject to personal jurisdiction in California, leaving the now-defunct NebuAd as the only defendant in that case. Plaintiff Valentine has now brought this action against WOW in the Northern District of Illinois.
