Kayla Bryant Falsely Accuses CleanFlicks in Article

While doing some reading this evening, I came across an article by Kayla Bryant at The Skyliner. Ms. Bryant wrote an opinion piece on the CleanFlicks lawsuite decided in July. In the piece, Ms. Bryant appears to form an opinion based on false information. She states

The problem was that Clean Flicks and others were buying one copy of each work, editing it and then selling multiple edited copies.

As far as I’m aware, this is not true. CleanFlicks, along with its co-plaintiffs all ensured that a 1:1 ration was kept for each edited copy of a movie. Doing otherwise would be a clear violation of federal laws. If Ms. Bryant has some information that shows otherwise, I would love for her to make that public. Even Judge Matsch, who ruled against CleanFlicks, states in his opinion:

CleanFilms maintains an inventory of the unedited versions of the copies it rents or sells to its members in a one-to-one ratio.
