- Op-Fortitude and Simon Afram say they spent more than $45 million, while the lawsuit suggests production took about seven years.
- According to the complaint, Op-Fortitude gave Netflix an unencrypted digital copy on June 16, and a Netflix executive reported several office drives stolen nine days later.
- The plaintiffs estimate the film’s potential break-even point at $112.5 million and seek at least $105 million, plus interest and other damages.
- Netflix disputes bearing the risk of loss for a film delivered without industry-standard safeguards and says it has so far seen no evidence that the film leaked.
We have declined to share anything about our ongoing investigation with the law firm representing Simon Afram, given their hostile attempts to extort money from Netflix over this situation — including immediately demanding $165 million for the film rather than work with us in good faith.— Netflix spokesperson, statement to Rolling Stone about the Fortitude lawsuit

- Tidal is the first major streaming service to halt royalty payments for completely AI-generated music.
- Artists can still use AI tools, but only human-created works will qualify for royalties.
- From mid-July, fully AI-made songs will feature a distinct icon to inform listeners of their origin.
- The policy aims to combat fraud and ensure fair compensation for artists producing original content.
This debate will continue as the technology advances and rightsholders and AI music platforms develop licensing models. Tidal’s priority is ensuring royalties go to original works directly produced, written, and performed by people. We will therefore not knowingly attribute royalties to music we identify as wholly AI-generated.— Tidal said on a recently published policy page regarding AI music.

- The board favored Paramount Skydance’s proposal due to its superior financial terms compared to Netflix’s offer.
- Paramount increased its cash bid to $31 per share for the entire company, including pay-TV channels like CNN, TBS, and TNT.
- Netflix chose not to revise its proposal within a seven-day negotiation window and exited the bidding process.
- WBD’s CEO emphasized that the merger is expected to generate substantial value for shareholders.
However, we've always been disciplined, and at the price required to match Paramount Skydance's latest offer, the deal is no longer financially attractive, so we are declining to match the Paramount Skydance bid.— Netflix co-CEOs Ted Sarandos and Greg Peters in a Netflix statement
