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."
I know the answer is in the article but tye headline doesn’t make clear if Netflix sued or are being sued. My 2 cents.
“Netflix sued” would mean they are being sued, “Netflix sues” means they are doing the suing.
Unless it’s something that happened in the past…
You often constructions like:
“Netflix Sued Over Stolen Film: Here’s How It Went For Them”
You won’t believe what happened next!
“Netflix [had] sued” is as reasonable as “Netflix [was] sued,” is it not?
Edit: love it when you make a reasonable point and wind up with zero replies but exactly one downvote. Such a funny little experience, these moments are.
Had/was kinda implied this is a thing that happened a while ago. They could probably do something like “Netflix suing for…” and “Netflix being sued for…”, but the confusion is probably intentional for clicks.
Here have another💋
Damn. It was funnier with just one. Now it’s meaningless.
Serious question:
Have you ever wondered why you enjoy being shitty to other people?
It’s a fake score that means nothing. Relax.
Too true, but when you see a kid crying about their spilled ice cream, do you go “Haha, cry harder dipshit!” Ice cream doesn’t matter, right?
Or should you just be kind to others as your starting point?
Nice catch. I read it as “was sued” vs “has sued” without noticing. I should read more carefully.
You read it correctly.
