‘You guys are still here?’: VidAngel relaunches after 4-year legal battle |
|
| | Provo-based video filtering service VidAngel is relaunching under new ownership after a prolonged legal battle. VidAngel lets users remove objectionable or profane content from movies and TV shows streaming on popular platforms. Some titans of Hollywood sued the company in June 2016, claiming VidAngel violated the Copyright Act: “After a tumultuous four-year battle, a $62.4 million judgment in a copyright lawsuit against VidAngel in 2020 was significantly reduced to $9.9 million in damages as part of a settlement.” Now under new leadership, VidAngel has actually doubled its subscribers and invested in a clever, new marketing campaign. Still, will prior legal issues come back to haunt VidAngel? Bill Aho, VidAngel's CEO, says he is confident litigation is in the past. | Residents of seven different states rely on Colorado River water, but the hardest working river in the West is in trouble.
