RE: Geolocation: IPv4 Subnet blocked by HULU, and others

["Keith Medcalf" <kmedcalf () dessus com>]

No, because you have no cause of action known to law.  You are not a customer of Hulu and have no right of action.

However, your "users" could sue you for failing to provide proper service or perhaps otherwise cause you to suffer 
damages.

In the former case you could file a defense and cross-claim against Hulu claiming that it is their problem, and that 
not only are they responsible for the claims made against you, they are also liable for your costs and so on and so 
forth.

In the latter case where you suffer damages as a result of Hulu's actions (or inactions) resulting in damage to you, 
you could sue them on the basis of tortuous interference for their actions.

Of course, Hulu will simply claim that you are negligent and just in case file a third party claim against whomever is 
providing them with false information and thus tortuously interfering with their business.

Over the course of the following several years nothing will be done to correct the issue, your customers will abandon 
you and go elsewhere, and in the end no one will get anywhere except the lawyers who will now be able to afford to buy 
a few more yachts each.
