<h1>Software Freedom Conservancy files right-to-repair lawsuit against California TV manufacturer Vizio Inc. for alleged GPL violations</h1>
|
||||||
|
<h2>Litigation is historic in nature due to its focus on consumer rights, filing as third-party beneficiary</h2>
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
<p><strong>FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE</strong></p>
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
<p>IRVINE, Calif. (Oct. 19, 2021) Software Freedom Conservancy announced today
|
||||||
|
it has filed a lawsuit against Vizio Inc. for what it calls repeated failures
|
||||||
|
to fulfill even the basic requirements of the General Public License (GPL).</p>
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
<p>The lawsuit alleges that Vizio’s TV products, built on its SmartCast system,
|
||||||
|
contain software that Vizio unfairly appropriated from a community of
|
||||||
|
developers who intended consumers to have very specific rights to modify,
|
||||||
|
improve, share, and reinstall modified versions of the software.</p>
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
<p>The GPL is a copyleft license that ensures end users the freedom to run,
|
||||||
|
study, share, and modify the software. Copyleft is a kind of software
|
||||||
|
licensing that leverages the restrictions of copyright, but with the intent
|
||||||
|
to promote sharing (using copyright licensing to freely use and repair
|
||||||
|
software).</p>
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
<p>Software Freedom Conservancy, a nonprofit organization focused on ethical
|
||||||
|
technology, is filing the lawsuit as the purchaser of a product which has
|
||||||
|
copylefted code. This approach makes it the first legal case that focuses on
|
||||||
|
the rights of individual consumers as third-party beneficiaries of the GPL.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
<p>“That’s what makes this litigation unique and historic in terms of
|
||||||
|
defending consumer rights,” says Karen M. Sandler, the organization’s
|
||||||
|
executive director.</p>
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
<p>According to the lawsuit, a consumer of a product such as this has the
|
||||||
|
right to access the source code so that it can be modified, studied, and
|
||||||
|
redistributed (under the appropriate license conditions).</p>
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
<p>“We are asking the court to require Vizio to make good on its
|
||||||
|
obligations under copyleft compliance requirements,” says
|
||||||
|
Sandler. She explains that in past litigation, the plaintiffs have always
|
||||||
|
been copyright holders of the specific GPL code. In this case, Software
|
||||||
|
Freedom Conservancy hopes to demonstrate that it's not just the copyright
|
||||||
|
holders, but also the receivers of the licensed code who are entitled to
|
||||||
|
rights.</p>
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
<p>The lawsuit suit seeks no monetary damages, but instead seeks access to
|
||||||
|
the technical information that the copyleft licenses require Vizio to provide
|
||||||
|
to all customers who purchase its TVs (specifically, the plaintiff is asking
|
||||||
|
for the technical information via “specific performance” rather
|
||||||
|
than “damages”).</p>
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
<p>“Software Freedom Conservancy is standing up for customers who are
|
||||||
|
alienated and exploited by the technology on which they increasingly
|
||||||
|
rely,” says Sandler, adding that the lawsuit also aims to help
|
||||||
|
educate consumers about their right to repair their devices as well as show
|
||||||
|
policy makers that there are mechanisms for corporate accountability
|
||||||
|
already in place that can be leveraged through purchasing power and
|
||||||
|
collective action.</p>
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
<p>Copyleft licensing was designed as an ideological alternative to the
|
||||||
|
classic corporate software model because it: allows people who receive the
|
||||||
|
software to fix their devices, improve them and control them; entitles people
|
||||||
|
to curtail surveillance and ads; and helps people continue to use their
|
||||||
|
devices for a much longer time (instead of being forced to purchase new
|
||||||
|
ones).</p>
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
<p>“The global supply chain shortages that have affected everything
|
||||||
|
from cars to consumer electronics underscore one of the reasons why it is
|
||||||
|
important to be able to repair products we already own,” says
|
||||||
|
Sandler. “Even without supply chain challenges, the forced obsolescence
|
||||||
|
of devices like TVs isn’t in the best interest of the consumer or even the
|
||||||
|
planet. This is another aspect of what we mean by ‘ethical
|
||||||
|
technology.’ Throwing away a TV because its software is no longer
|
||||||
|
supported by its manufacturer is not only wasteful, it has dire environmental
|
||||||
|
consequences. Consumers should have more control over this, and they would if
|
||||||
|
companies like Vizio played by the rules.“</p>
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
<p>According to Sandler, the organization first raised the issue of
|
||||||
|
non-compliance with the GPL with Vizio in August 2018. After a year of
|
||||||
|
diplomatic attempts to work with the company, it was not only still refusing
|
||||||
|
to comply, but stopped responding to inquiries altogether as of January 2020.</p>
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
<p>“By July 2021, the TV model that we originally complained was
|
||||||
|
non-compliant was discontinued,” says Sandler. “When we purchased new models,
|
||||||
|
we found that despite our efforts they still had no source code included with
|
||||||
|
the device, nor any offer for source code. People buying these models would
|
||||||
|
never know that there was anything special about the software in these
|
||||||
|
devices, or that they had any rights whatsoever connected with the software
|
||||||
|
on their TVs.”</p>
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
<p>Software Freedom Conservancy analyzed the TVs and concluded that not only
|
||||||
|
was Vizio not providing the source code and technical information that
|
||||||
|
copyleft licenses require, Vizio was not even informing its customers about
|
||||||
|
copylefted software and the rights it gives them as consumers.</p>

<h3>History of Vizio Case</h3>
|
||||||
it has filed a lawsuit against Vizio Inc. for what it calls repeated failures
|
<p>On October 19, 2021, SFC filed a third-party beneficiary contract <a href="https://sfconservancy.org/docs/software-freedom-conservancy-v-vizio-complaint-2021-10-19.pdf">lawsuit</a> against Vizio in California State Court in Orange County, CA. Our <a href="/copyleft-compliance/glossary.html#complaint">complaint</a> demands <em>no financial compensation</em> but instead asks for what truly matters with regard to software rights and freedom: the "specific performance" (fulfilling a contract requirement in exactly the way the contract specifies) of production of complete, corresponding source code (CCS) — as defined in the various GPL Agreements (such as GPLv2 and LGPLv2.1).</p>
|
||||||
to fulfill even the basic requirements of the General Public License (GPL).</p>
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
<p>Vizio has still not provided CCS for their televisions to SFC, and so our lawsuit continues. Instead, Vizio <a href="/blog/2021/dec/28/vizio-update-1/">attempted to “remove”</a> the case to federal court (arguing that copyright claims <em>preempted</em> our third-party beneficiary contract claim). We <a href="/news/2022/may/16/vizio-remand-win/">succeeded in our motion to remand the case back to state court</a>; the federal judge <a href="https://storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.uscourts.cacd.837808/gov.uscourts.cacd.837808.30.0.pdf">agreed that our case included an “extra element”</a> not covered by copyright.</p>
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
<p>The lawsuit alleges that Vizio’s TV products, built on its SmartCast system,
|
<p>After several months of litigation back in state court, Vizio <a href="https://sfconservancy.org/docs/2023-4-28 VIZIOs Motion for Summary Judgment with Reservation.pdf">filed for</a> <a href="/copyleft-compliance/glossary.html#summary-judgment">summary judgment</a> in the state court <em>again</em> arguing copyright preemption. The state court is not bound by the federal court's ruling against preemption, so Vizio was able to essentially re-argue its motion to dismiss. Vizio also argued that the GPL Agreements have no third-party beneficiaries), which is the first time Vizio has tried to attack these claims substantively.Currently, we are awaiting the judge's ruling on Vizio's motion for summary judgment.</p>

contain software that Vizio unfairly appropriated from a community of

developers who intended consumers to have very specific rights to modify,

<h3>Portions of Interest from the Docket in the Vizio Case</h3>

<p>The GPL is a copyleft license that ensures end users the freedom to run,
|
Below are documents from the docket(s) in this SFC v. Vizio case of interest,
|
||||||
study, share, and modify the software. Copyleft is a kind of software
|
provided in (roughly) chronological order:
|
||||||
licensing that leverages the restrictions of copyright, but with the intent
|
|

to promote sharing (using copyright licensing to freely use and repair
