VidAngel Appeals against Injunction Won by Hollywood Studios

2016/12/21

Online streaming website VidAngel has appealed against a decision which saw Hollywood studios obtain an injunction against the site.
On December 12, Judge Andre Birotte Jr ordered a preliminary injunction against the site, which offers $1 films with parental controls.
Disney, Lucasfilm, 20th Century Fox and Warner Bros filed the lawsuit in June this year, alleging copyright infringement and violation of the Digital Millennium Copyright Act.
It claimed that the streaming service doesn't have permission to copy the films and TV shows, and "appears to circumvent the technological protection measures on DVDs and Blu-ray discs to create unauthorised copies".
Now, VidAngel has appealed against the injunction to the US Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit.
