A former movie executive testified before a California federal jury this week, expressing that she felt “set up” in relation to a copyright lawsuit aimed at The Walt Disney Co. The case revolves around claims by a distant family member, asserting the entertainment giant used their script in the production of the successful animated film “Moana”. The executive mentioned she never shared the relative’s script with Disney and was later pressured to support the copyright claim.
