Imagine if Verizon, AT&T, T-Mobile and Cox banded together for a showdown against the studios accusing them of liability? AT&T runs an NSA stronghold in Manhattan, they’re not going to let their darlings go down in a teeny lawsuit like this. I really want to see this happening. Let them fight.

Out of those four, Cox is the one seemingly being the one who’s combative. The other three will fold easily and are complicit with any demand the studios have done.

So it is very hard to imagine, really.

Why would they? They own a controlling interest in multiple studios/production companies. If not directly then through other investments like hedge funds etc.

Now if SAG-AFTRA decided to start their own studio that would be cool.

Maybe op is referring to this?

It’s not about the movie/tv industry though.

They will not because it wouldn’t be profitable to them.

They do stand up for themselves. Meaning, their bottom line.
