SAN FRANCISCO — The Ninth Circuit declined Amazon’s motion to rehear, en banc, its decision to vacate a district court order that enjoined Perplexity from sending its Comet AI Assistant “into password-protected areas of the Amazon store.” The court reports that not one judge “requested a vote on whether to rehear the matter.” In August, the court found that Amazon is not likely to succeed in showing that Perplexity violated the Computer Fraud and Abuse Act or the California Comprehensive Computer Data Access and Fraud Act.
