Lawsuits Against Movies

Wonder how this charge will go... Who exactly gets in trouble for this? Could their Ben criminal charges on individuals? I mean, a corporation can take a hit. But if you really want to change behaviors fast, go after the CEO for pushing this frank and filthy kiddie porn. 
 

 I remember when we use to execute people for this crap. Now we just sue you for child exploitation? There is a reason slavery is actually worse now than it was.

No statues being burned for the modern slaves (many of them underage sex slaves). Know that is frightening and dark, but it has to be shared. The SJW movement really does not care about the weak as much as it is to get someone elected that will give them more of rich daddy Uncle Sam money. So basically, thievery through the cheapening of vital social issues, with blood and pain as a price. 
 

If the west allows this to slide and we become inured to it (or worse embrace it in the plus in “LGBT+”) we will allow a form of oppression that will actually transcend the nightmares of racial slavery.

Why no films and art showing this?

I agree, but it's still important to punish distribution as well as creation of such filth. One of the few things that are recognized universally as being bad/criminal is child pornography (CP).

Here's is what Viva Frei had to say:

You ask this knowing how badly Hollywood is corrupt & morally bankrupt?

"Cuties" is award winning? What band of perverts gave this movie an award? Wait, never mind. I answered my own question.

Point taken, but how many of those independent films get widely distributed?

 

A sensible question. Thanks to the Internet, it can be theoretical distributed to all that can watch it on the net. Potentially Billions. Issue is, the marketing. Marketing sadly has been capitalized by people more...friendly...to this stuff historically. Remember? “Diamonds are woman’s best friend?” And people marketing tabacco as a dietary aid? Those people got political in the early ninites. You can see this openly admit in marketing works like After The Ball. Ironically their three step program is being used for Cuties. 

They were:


1 - Desensitization - “It’s not that bad.”

2 - Jamming - “You are shameful and phobic for not agreeing with this.” 

3 -  Conversion - “You should ally with us to protect these people.”

Netflix is in trouble again; this time it's coming from the shareholders.

Netflix shareholders sue over subscription slump disclosures [Reuters]

Quote

Netflix Inc (NFLX.O) has been hit with a shareholder lawsuit in a U.S. court in California accusing the streaming entertainment company of misleading the market about its ability to keep adding subscribers in recent months.

The lawsuit filed in San Francisco federal court on Tuesday seeks damages for declines in Netflix's share price this year after the company missed its subscriber growth estimates.

Filed by a Texas-based investment trust, the lawsuit accused Los Gatos, California-based Netflix and its top executives of failing to disclose that its growth was slowing amid increased competition and that it was losing subscribers on a net basis.

Details from Cision PR Newswire:

Quote

CLASS DEFINITION: The lawsuit seeks to recover losses on behalf of Netflix, Inc. investors who were adversely affected by alleged securities fraud. This lawsuit is on behalf of persons and entities that purchased or otherwise acquired Netflix common stock or call options, or sold put options, between October 19, 2021 and April 19, 2022, inclusive.

Quote

CASE DETAILS: The filed complaint alleges that defendants made false statements and/or concealed that: (1) Netflix was exhibiting slower acquisition growth due to, among other things, account sharing by customers and increased competition from other streaming services; (2) the Company was experiencing difficulties retaining customers; (3) as a result of the foregoing, the Company was losing subscribers on a net basis (4) as a result, the Company's financial results were being adversely affected; and (5) as a result of the foregoing, Defendants' positive statements about the Company's business, operations, and prospects were materially false and/or misleading and/or lacked a reasonable basis.

WHAT'S NEXT? If you suffered a loss in Netflix, Inc. during the relevant time frame, you have until July 5, 2022 to request that the Court appoint you as lead plaintiff. Your ability to share in any recovery doesn't require that you serve as a lead plaintiff.

NO COST TO YOU: If you are a class member, you may be entitled to compensation without payment of any out-of-pocket costs or fees. There is no cost or obligation to participate.

I get the feeling this will get more traction that the Cuties lawsuit.😔

This is over deception about their streaming service, but Disney is still a "movie company" ;)

Disney Hit With Investor Suit Over Alleged “Cost-Shifting Scheme” In Streaming Division [Hollywood Reporter]

Quote

Disney’s lofty subscriber growth and profitability targets for its streaming service have drawn a lawsuit from investors who claim that the entertainment giant misled them about the extent of its losses.

A suit filed on May 12 in California federal court accuses Disney of engaging in a fraudulent scheme designed to hide Disney+ costs and make forecasts that it would be profitable by 2024 believable. It takes aim at ousted CEO Bob Chapek’s alleged “cost-shifting scheme” to first air certain shows meant to be Disney+ originals on legacy TV networks to conceal the platform “suffering decelerating subscriber growth, losses, and cost overruns,” the suit says.

The suit details Disney’s pivot to prioritizing streaming amid the pandemic. While most of the company’s businesses suffered as its theme parks, resorts and cruise lines were shuttered and movie theaters were forced to close, subscriptions to Disney+ rapidly took off. Against this backdrop, Chapek decided to “go all in” on the platform, announcing a major reorganization of the company’s media and entertainment operations. Under the new reorg, distribution and commercialization activities were centralized into the Disney Media and Entertainment Distribution (DMED) arm, which essentially became responsible for the monetization of all content globally. Investors say that the reorganization represented a “dramatic departure from Disney’s historical reporting structure and was hugely controversial within the Company because it took power away from creative content-focused executives and centralized it in a new reporting group” led by Chapek lieutenant Kareem Daniel, who alongside his mentor, “exerted near complete control over the company’s strategic decisions around content,” according to the complaint.

From December 2020 to November 2022, Chapek and Daniel repeatedly misled investors about the success of Disney+ by concealing the true costs of the platform and the difficulty of maintaining robust subscriber growth in addition to claiming that it was on track to achieve profitability with 230 to 260 million paid global subscribers by the end of 2024, the suit claims. This includes an allegedly fraudulent plan to debut certain shows that were supposed to be Disney+ originals, including The Mysterious Benedict Society and Doogie Kameāloha, M.D., on its TV networks, like the Disney channel.

“By doing so, a significant portion of the marketing and production costs of the shows were shifted away from Disney+ and on to the legacy platform,” reads the complaint.

👏*applauds the investors & their lawsuit*

Disney needs to be called out more on their shenanigans 🧐
