TLDR A lawsuit filed against BitTorrent owner Rainberry Inc, TRON Foundation's Justin Sun, and one of his colleagues, is based in employment law. The lawsuit claims that movies including The Lion King were involved in a "fraudulent scheme" to "make a profit from the illegal piracy of those materials" The lawsuit was quietly filed last October by a pair of former Rainberry employees who claim they were subjected to a campaign of harassment after they raised concerns over activity at the company. It also has an interesting copyright angle that hasn’t been explained in detail.via the TL;DR App
