Legal and policy issues
In 2011, in the case of Hoang v. Amazon.com, Inc., IMDb was sued by an anonymous actress for at least US$1,075,000 because the movie website publicly disclosed her age (40, at the time) without her consent.[66] The actress claimed that revealing her age could cause her to lose acting opportunities.[67] Judge Marsha J. Pechman, a US district judge in Seattle, dismissed the lawsuit, saying the actress had no grounds to proceed with an anonymous complaint. The actress re-filed and so revealed that she was Huong Hoang of Texas, who uses the stage name Junie Hoang.[68] In 2013, Pechman dismissed all causes of action except for a breach of contract claim against IMDb; a jury then sided with IMDb on that claim.[69] The Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit affirmed the district court judgment in March 2015.[70] Also in 2011, in the case of United Video Properties Inc., et al. v. Amazon.Com Inc. et al.,[71] IMDb and Amazon were sued by Rovi Corporation and others for patent infringement over their various program listing offerings.[72] The patent claims were ultimately construed in a way favorable to IMDb, and Rovi / United Video Properties lost the case.[73] In April 2014, the decision was affirmed by the U.S. Court of Appeals.[74] In 2011, in the case of Hoang v.
