Dist. Ct. did not err in granting defendant’s motion for summary judgment in action alleging that defendant (provider of rental DVDs) violated Video Privacy Protection Act, when it disclosed to third-party defendant’s customer database to assist third-party when third-party fielded calls from defendant’s customers at customer service call center. Defendant’s actions fell within statutory exception for disclosures incident to “request processing” related to its rentals of DVDs.
