Judge: Cloudflare doesn't have to cut off sites over copyright complaints

A federal judge ruled Thursday that hosting and security provider Cloudflare is not liable for copyright infringement by websites that use its services. Jon Brodkin:

Cloudflare was sued in November 2018 by Mon Cheri Bridals and Maggie Sottero Designs, two wedding dress manufacturers and sellers that alleged Cloudflare was guilty of contributory copyright infringement because it didn't terminate services for websites that infringed on the dressmakers' copyrighted designs.
