[LOS ANGELES] Walt Disney Co won a court order shutting down a Utah-based video-streaming business that lets subscribers pay US$1 to watch Hollywood movies stripped of nudity, violence and profanity.
A federal judge in Los Angeles granted Disney's request to halt VidAngel Inc's services while a lawsuit continues over whether the company's business model is, as Disney alleges, an "end run" around copyright protections.
