Thompson Coburn partner Mike Nepple spoke to Law360 for a recap of the publication’s picks for the top copyright rulings of 2023.

The question of whether embedding copyrighted images on websites could be infringing has been “under the radar,” Mike said about this year’s Hunley v. Instagram Ninth Circuit ruling and other recent cases. He noted he has been waiting for another circuit court to weigh in. "I would like to see some clarification on that.”
