My popcorn is out and I'm watching this one. While it seems the courts will decide it does speak to the greater bandwidth in distribution and content creators working to control their own destiny. If Sony feels it can win on their own in this game, independent film distributors can win on their own in a lot of other games. Staying tuned here but also excited by all the possibilities coming in distrbution. https://deadline.com/2025/02/jeopardy-profits-lawsuit-cbs-sony-latest-12...

Sam Sokolow, it speaks to the larger shift happening in distribution and content ownership, where studios and independent distributors alike are trying to carve out more control over their revenue streams. If Sony is confident enough to take this route, it suggests there’s room for independent film distributors to navigate new opportunities as well. It’ll be interesting to see how this plays out and what impact it could have on distribution models moving forward.
