VIDEO PRIVACY PROTECTION ACT

The 'Video Privacy Protection Act (VPPA)' was a bill passed by the United States Congress in 1988 as and signed into law by President Ronald Reagan. It was created to prevent what it refers to as "wrongful disclosure of video tape rental or sale records." Congress passed the VPPA after Robert Bork's video rental history was published during his Supreme Court nomination (EPIC). It makes any "video tape service provider" that discloses rental information outside the ordinary course of business liable for up to $2500 in actual damages.
