Salazar v. Paramount Global

Legal Brief

U.S. Supreme Court (merits stage)

Date: June 30, 2026

RLC’s Position: The Retail Litigation Center’s brief argues that the Video Privacy Protection Act’s definition of “consumer” should remain tied to actual purchases, rentals, or subscriptions of audiovisual content.  The brief also emphasizes that the abusive class-action litigation retailers face for using routine website videos to help customers shop.

Counsel: Meredith Slawe, Mike McTigue, Archis Parasharami, Daniel Jones, and Andrew Quinn of Skadden drafted the brief.
