VidAngel CEO Says Jury Ruling on Copyright Lawsuit 'Completely Unfair': Shares Message for Customers

Tré Goins-Phillips : Jun 19, 2019  Faithwire.com

"Nothing important in this world has ever happened without serious adversity. And we're experiencing serious adversity, and it shows in the things that we're creating, how important this is to us." -Neal Harmon

(Sacramento, CA) — [Faithwire.com] On Monday, a California jury ordered the Utah-based VidAngel to pay a whopping $62.4 million in damages to four Hollywood studios. The faith-based company's CEO, Neal Harmon, is calling the decision "entirely unfair." (Image: VidAngel/via iTunes)

During a phone interview Tuesday with Faithwire, Harmon argued the jurists' decision is wrong "considering we made the studios money." He later noted VidAngel never intentionally, in his view, violated the law.

Harmon has argued consistently that VidAngel was well within the purview of the Family Movie Act, which allows for movie filtering during playback.

That, however, is not at all how Disney Enterprises Inc., LucasFilm Ltd. LLC, Twentieth Century Fox Film Corp. or Warner Bros. Entertainment Inc. see it. The four studios slapped VidAngel with a lawsuit in June 2016.

Following the suit, a preliminary injunction was issued in December of the same year, forcing the company to stop streaming movies filtered from DVDs. The case was then delayed when, in October 2017, VidAngel filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy, according to The Salt Lake Tribune. Subscribe for free to Breaking Christian News here
