Disney already has control over 35% of the films we watch. Should they also control how we choose to watch films?
Over this last summer, Disney won $62.4 million in a lawsuit for copyright infringement against VidAngel. VidAngel is a company that allows families and individuals to stream entertainment and filter out offensive content. Filtering entertainment for individual use is a right that everyone should have, and a right that Disney shouldn’t be able to use its immense power to take away.
Disney’s main argument in court against VidAngel is not about VidAngel’s actual use of filters, but their streaming business model.
