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.

        “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.

            Serious question:

            Have you ever wondered why you enjoy being shitty to other people?

      Nice catch. I read it as “was sued” vs “has sued” without noticing. I should read more carefully.
