Not sure why you keep calling Netflix a media platform like its youtube or something that deals with users who can accidentally upload copyrighted material. Netflix is responsible for everything it releases. The videographer admitted he was under contract with Diddy, So any footage he took was subject to that contract so Diddy owns the rights to the footage whether its in his direct possession or not.Are there any examples of a media platform being sued for releasing information someone else leaked to them?
Record label shyt is different because you're dealing with copyrighted material. Photos and videos taken with consent gets alot murkier in the court room, especially when you're dealing with media.
They're saying it was a sub contractor that leak it, well maybe thats the guy who wasn't paid. When you hire someone to walk around filming you and he doesn't get paid, the ownership of that material is in the air.
Just cause you're in possession of footage or someones property doesn't give you the rights to resell or repurpose it. If your laptop broke and you brought it the geek squad at best buy to fix. If best buy used a subcontractor to work on your laptop the sub cannot just sell your laptop cause best buy didn't pay them. A subcontractor doesn't have rights to anything and they are hired to do a specific job and fall under the bounds of the primary contract.
