>Congress passed the VPPA after Robert Bork's video rental history was published during his Supreme Court nomination and it became known as the "Bork bill". It makes any "video tape service provider" that discloses rental information outside the ordinary course of business liable for up to $2,500 in actual damages unless the consumer has consented, the consumer had the opportunity to consent, or the data was subject to a court order or warrant.Imagine this happened to you
>>220132345>According to Dolan's report, Bork's favorite actor appeared to be Cary Grant, who appeared in 12 of the 146 videotapes, along with Roger Moore and Alec Guinness. His favorite director seemed to be Alfred Hitchcock, who directed 12 films. The frequency of the rentals suggested that he enjoyed mysteries, action, adventure, and British films. He checked out The Man Who Knew Too Much, The Man With the Golden Gun, and Comfort and Joy three times each, in addition to classics such as Citizen Kane and The Philadelphia Story. Two films were about judges—First Monday in October and The Star Chamber—and other titles included The Who's concert film The Kids Are Alright and teen comedies Pretty in Pink and Sixteen Candles. None of the films Bork checked out had an X rating or R rating under the MPAA rating system.How embarrassing
