The lawsuit faults Netflix for losing a drive that contained a copy of World War II thriller 'Fortitude.' The company maintains it's not responsible for the loss of the movie, which it says was delivered "without proper industry-standard safeguards."

    Was it stolen by Nicolas Cage as part of the plot of the next National Treasure movie?

    I’m not pro-Netflix, but not encrypting a high quality copy of your unreleased big budget movie is a bonehead move on the part of the producer.

    My non legally binding judgement would be a couple of hundred against Netflix for the loss of the hard drive.

      According to the suit Netflix specifically requested it be decrypted, and said they’d handle it securely and destroy it once the viewing process was finished.

      That was the judgement. Have you seen hardware prices lately? They are just paying for that 2tb disk.

    Is the lawsuit implying that anyone would watch that crap?
