Summary
In a lawsuit over streaming rights to "South Park," a judge has ruled in favor of Paramount Global on certain claims made by Warner Bros. Discovery. Warner paid $500 million in 2019 for the rights to stream "South Park" episodes on its platform, but alleged that Paramount breached the contract by streaming "South Park" specials on Paramount+. The judge dismissed some of Warner's claims, stating that Paramount did not violate consumer protection laws and that the allegations were a private contract dispute. However, Warner's claims of breach of contract, tortuous interference, and unjust enrichment are still being considered.
