Jonathan Band

Mr. Band helps shape the laws governing intellectual property and the Internet through a combination of legislative and appellate advocacy. He has represented clients with respect to the drafting of the Digital Millennium Copyright Act (DMCA); the Stop Online Piracy Act (SOPA); database protection legislation; the Uniform Computer Information Transactions Act; and other federal and state statutes relating to copyrights, counterfeiting, privacy, spam, spyware, cybersecurity, gambling, and indecency

Mr. Band complements this legislative advocacy by filing amicus briefs in significant cases related to these provisions. The amicus brief he authored for library associations was cited in Justice Breyer’s  opinion for the majority in Kirtsaeng v. John A. Wiley & Sons. Other amicus briefs Mr. Band drafted have been cited by appellate and district courts.
