VidAngel covers the requirements for copyright infringement and cites all relevant previous cases

It is true that doesn't mean customers were in the clear. But it's impossible to prove a negative. There are zero copyright cases for streaming customers or downloading without also uploading via p2p.

Are you aware of any case law that finds otherwise?

It's a streaming case against a single plaintiff, a lot of previous cases are not going to be relevant.

I'm aware how courts tend to view these sorts of things in general. For example I'm aware of the concept of contributory infringement, here's one you may want to read that covers copyright contributory infringement: https://www.law.cornell.edu/wex/contributory_infringement#:~....
