"Plaintiff has sufficiently alleged a violation of section 1202(b). The Instagram sidebar is alleged to include identifying information about plaintiff that plausibly constitutes (copyright management information) under section 1202(c). And the plausible inference from Plaintiff’s allegations is that PopSugar removed the CMI from plaintiff’s Instagram posts knowing that removing the CMI would help to conceal the alleged infringement of plaintiff’s images. The court therefore denies defendant’s motion to dismiss Plaintiff’s DMCA claim," Gilliam said.
