## Resource

A $105 million lawsuit is brewing as a production company and filmmaker accuse Netflix of stealing the master copy of their Nicolas Cage WWII spy thriller Fortitude—a leak that could doom the film’s distribution. Simon Afram, who poured $45 million into the project, handed Netflix an unencrypted hard drive on June 15th, only for it to vanish from their L.A. offices a week later. Netflix claims the producers failed to use industry-standard security, like encrypted files or password-protected links, and says they immediately alerted security and offered piracy monitoring. But the team demands full transparency, fearing the leak has already damaged their chances with distributors. This high-stakes mess exposes serious vulnerabilities in Hollywood’s handling of unreleased content. Listen in comfort: Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
