ニコラス・ケイジの未公開映画「Fortitude」に関する訴訟がNetflixに提訴されました。原告はプロデューサーと監督らで、Netflixに対して失われたデータドライブから未暗号化のマスター版を再生産したとして1億ドルの賠償を求めています。
主な内容は以下の通りです：
- 「Fortitude」は7年以上の製作期間と4500万ドルの費用がかかり、第二次世界大戦時の密偵物語を描いています。
- 未公開作品としての独占性が価値を形成しており、これを失ったことで市場価値が損なわれたという主張です。
- プロデューサーのダニエル・ハイドオがNetflixに手渡したデータドライブが窃盗され、約1週間後、Netflix側からその情報が漏洩したとの連絡がありました。
Netflixは責任を否認し、コンテンツのセキュリティ対策を強化していると表明しました。ただし、著作権侵害サイトでの不法配信を監視するという見解も示しています。

A production company and filmmaker are suing Netflix for $105 million, alleging the streamer lost a stolen drive containing an unencrypted master copy of the unreleased Nicolas Cage film Fortitude, which they claim damage its exclusivity and market value. Netflix denied responsibility for the lost film but said it takes content security seriously and has offered to monitor piracy sites for unauthorized copies. CBS News reports: The complaint filed on Wednesday in California district court alleges that the film's associate producer, Daniel Haido, hand-delivered an unencrypted master copy of the film to Netflix so the company could screen it as a potential buyer. Haido verbally instructed the employee to delete the files after the screening, according to the suit. A little over a week after the screening, Netflix emailed the filmmakers to say the drive had been stolen, the plaintiffs allege. "Someone stole a good amount of drives from our office desks this past week," a Netflix executive wrote in the email, according to the suit.
The complaint notes the movie, entitled "Fortitude," took over seven years to make and cost $45 million. It tells the story of a secret mission called Operation Fortitude during World War II that was orchestrated to mislead the Nazis about the Allied invasion of Europe. The film stars Nicolas Cage as Dusko Popov, a real-life spy during World War II, as well as Sir Ben Kingsley and Ron Perlman.
The plaintiffs said studios will now be dissuaded from buying the rights to the movie, knowing that a version of it could be released by a third party for free. "The film's value depended in significant part on its exclusivity as an unreleased, first-to-market work," the complaint states. "By losing control of the film, Netflix destroyed that exclusivity and materially, if not completely, impaired the film's marketability."
