Siding with Warner Bros., Disney and 20th Century Fox, a federal judge has issued an injunction prohibiting tech company VidAngel from continuing to operate its "family-friendly" streaming video service. VidAngel said its service allows users to filter material like nudity and violence from DVDs they purchased. (VidAngel sold DVDs to users for 20, and then bought them back for $19, according to The Hollywood Reporter.) But the studios argued that VidAngel infringes copyright by operating as an "unlicensed VOD streaming service."
