Disney Enterprises, Inc. v. VidAngel, Inc. was a 2016 United States District Court for the Central District of California case in which four major Hollywood studios -- Disney, Lucasfilm, 20th Century Fox, and Warner Bros. -- filed a copyright infringement complaint against VidAngel, a company which allows users to filter out objectionable content from movies and TV shows. The studios alleged that the method VidAngel used to filter and stream films to its users was illegal under copyright law because they broke the encryption on DVDs and Blu-rays. VidAngel contended that their method was legal under an exception provided by the Family Movie Act.

  • Disney Enterprises, Inc. v. VidAngel, Inc. was a 2016 United States District Court for the Central District of California case in which four major Hollywood studios -- Disney, Lucasfilm, 20th Century Fox, and Warner Bros. -- filed a copyright infringement complaint against VidAngel, a company which allows users to filter out objectionable content from movies and TV shows. The studios alleged that the method VidAngel used to filter and stream films to its users was illegal under copyright law because they broke the encryption on DVDs and Blu-rays. VidAngel contended that their method was legal under an exception provided by the Family Movie Act. Judge André Birotte Jr. granted the studios' motion for preliminary injunction in December 2016, ordering VidAngel to stop streaming movies. VidAngel's appeal for an emergency stay of the injunction was denied by the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals. The lawsuit forced VidAngel into Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection during which they reorganized their business under a streaming model. In June 2019, a jury ordered VidAngel to pay $62 million in damages to the studios. In September 2020, VidAngel reached a settlement agreement with the studios which reduced the damages to $9.9 million and prohibits VidAngel from streaming content by the four studios. VidAngel is free to stream content from other studios. (en)
