VidAngel, the market-leading entertainment platform empowering users to filter language, nudity, violence, and other content from movies and TV series on Netlfix, Amazon Prime, and HBO—using modern streaming platforms such as iOS, Android, and ROKU—has been engaged in a high-profile legal battle with Disney, Warner Bros., 20th Century Fox, and Lucasfilm for more than a year. These Hollywood studios are engaged in a legal effort to eviscerate the 2005 Family Movie Act, preventing VidAngel and other services from lawfully empowering parents and families to filter content on modern devices in their homes. VidAngel has responded by engaging in a robust, crowd-funded legal defense in which the company is prepared to take its case all the way to the Supreme Court.
This Friday, August 4th, VidAngel’s General Counsel, copyright expert David W. Quinto, former “Guardian of the OSCARS,” will argue before Los Angeles District Court judge Andre Birotte Jr. that VidAngel’s new service is not subject to the current preliminary injunction. Quinto and Quinn Emanuel, co-founder, will argue for VidAngel in highly-anticipated hearing
Launched on June 22, 2017, VidAngel’s new service allows users to filter content on top of their current Netflix, Amazon Prime, and HBO on Amazon Prime subscriptions.
