Netflix is the target of a new lawsuit over its inclusion of copyrighted video clips in the 2024 documentary series “You Are What You Eat.”
Doniger/Burroughs Law Firm filed the complaint last Thursday in the U.S. District Court for the Central District of California on behalf of Scottish videographer Corin Smith. The plaintiff claims that Netflix and the Oceanic Preservation Society, also named as a defendant, used his still photographs and video clips about open-cage salmon farming in both the series and its promotional materials without his approval. The OPS, a Colorado marine nonprofit, produced the series.
