Disney, 20th Century Studios, and CAA have been cleared of a copyright lawsuit brought by production executive Madison Jones, who accused them of stealing ideas from his screenplay for the film Ad Astra. The judge ruled that the defendants did not have access to Jones' screenplay and that the movies were not similar enough to prove copyright infringement. Jones plans to appeal the decision and had requested a forensic search of the writers' hard drive to prove fraud, but the judge denied the request. The court concluded that there was no evidence of copying facilitated by access to Jones' work, and that the works themselves were significantly different. Claims for direct, contributory, and vicarious infringement, as well as breach of implied contract, were dismissed.
