Judge Tentatively Grants Reddit's Motion to Remand Case to State Court
In a ruling posted to the site of the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of California, a judge wrote: "Before the Court is Plaintiff Reddit's Motion to Remand this action to the state court... Reddit asserts that its claims arise from violations of contractual, technical, and privacy-based obligations - not from infringement of exclusive rights under the Copyright Act... the Court concludes that Reddit's claims allege extra elements that are qualitatively different from the rights protected by the Copyright Act. Accordingly, Plaintiff's Motion to Remand is tentatively GRANTED, and this action should be returned to the San Francisco Superior Court."
