The judge pointed to evidence that consumers could distinguish that Paramount+ was the exclusive home of two 'South Park' movies per year while Max housed the series' back catalog. WBD still has claims for breach of contract, tortuous interference and unjust enrichment.
I’m baffled as to why people are taking sides here as if this is “sticking it to the man” or something. It’s 2 giant corporate media conglomerates going against each other.
If anything, the deal is bad for consumers, because it’s making them subscribe to 2 services to watch South Park.
And fwiw, Paramount + is literally the worst streaming service I’ve encountered from a tech perspective. Freezes constantly, won’t pause half the time, forgets your settings (e.g. closed captioning), forgets where you are in your show, janky interface, no recommendation algorithm that I can see (I suspect that it’s just showing the same recommendations to everyone).
In any case, I subscribed to Paramount + for a month just to watch the new SP movie and S2 of the new Beavis & Butthead. They have some good content, but I’ll probably cancel after that because the interface is so godawful and frustrating.
