Disney Sues Redbox Over Reselling Digital Movie Code

Redbox's sales of Disney codes to allow streaming of movies that clearly are marked not for sale or transfer, both online and at its kiosks, are a copyright violation, interference with Disney contracts with customers, and violations of California's false advertising and unfair competition laws, Disney said in a docket 17-cv-8655 lawsuit (in Pacer) filed Thursday in Los Angeles. Redbox said Friday it "feel[s] very confident in our pro-consumer position."
