'Lay the Favorite,' a 2012 Bruce Willis film about sports betting that grossed less than $21,000 at the domestic box office, has sparked a lawsuit against Amazon and Netflix from an Austin-based mapmaker
, a 2012 Bruce Willis film about sports betting that grossed less than $21,000 at the domestic box office, has sparked a lawsuit against Amazon and Netflix from an Austin-based mapmaker who says his copyrighted work was shown in the background without permission.
Victor Baker creates and sells "antique-style, watercolor maps" of locations around the globe that are typically sold to tourists who visit those areas, according to the complaint filed Thursday in Texas federal court. He's suing the streamers and Random House Films because his map of the Caribbean island of Curacao was shown on the wall of an office in the background of the movie.
He's seeking up to $150,000 in statutory damages or, alternatively, the fair-market license fee for the map and is asking the court to stop defendants from distributing the film with the scenes that show his work.
