Imagine if Verizon, AT&T, T-Mobile and Cox banded together for a showdown against the studios accusing them of liability? AT&T runs an NSA stronghold in Manhattan, they’re not going to let their darlings go down in a teeny lawsuit like this. I really want to see this happening. Let them fight.

They do stand up for themselves. Meaning, their bottom line.

Why would they? They own a controlling interest in multiple studios/production companies. If not directly then through other investments like hedge funds etc.

Now if SAG-AFTRA decided to start their own studio that would be cool.

They’re getting sued though. They don’t need to stand up for us; them not taking shit is just acting as cover for us

Maybe op is referring to this?

It’s not about the movie/tv industry though.

They will not because it wouldn’t be profitable to them.
