No, because you have no cause of action known to law. You are not a customer of Hulu and have no right of action. However, your "users" could sue you for failing to provide proper service or perhaps otherwise cause you to suffer damages. In the former case you could file a defense and cross-claim against Hulu claiming that it is their problem, and that not only are they responsible for the claims made against you, they are also liable for your costs and so on and so forth. In the latter case where you suffer damages as a result of Hulu's actions (or inactions) resulting in damage to you, you could sue them on the basis of tortuous interference for their actions. Of course, Hulu will simply claim that you are negligent and just in case file a third party claim against whomever is providing them with false information and thus tortuously interfering with their business. Over the course of the following several years nothing will be done to correct the issue, your customers will abandon you and go elsewhere, and in the end no one will get anywhere except the lawyers who will now be able to afford to buy a few more yachts each. --- The fact that there's a Highway to Hell but only a Stairway to Heaven says a lot about anticipated traffic volume.

I would like to know, Is there any legal recourse we can take against such a company consistently ignoring whitelist requests? Currently, the only way my customers can connect to hulu without getting a vpn error is by using a vpn. On my end, i have just started NATing all requests to HULU through the few good IPs that I have.

Anyone figure this out? I need to get our prefixes updated as well as they are detecting our customers in the wrong city.

I could use a contact for all of these as well. I have been trying to get my subnet unblocked with all of these providers and have reached out in many ways to all of them over the past few months, but never get a response.
Thank you, Brett A Mansfield

I am a local WISP. And my customers have trouble reaching Hulu, Disney now, and previously netflix and amazon prime(both resolved). I have emailed, mailed, and called both HULU and Disney now to get my 196.53.96.0/22 subnet unblacklisted as a VPN provider(no longer so) from their services. They have replied saying it takes 3-5 days to resolve the issue, that was several weeks ago. Can i get contact from those two services that can help my customers reach their services, thank you.
Thank you for the help. -Michael
