A+E Networks has settled its copyright infringement lawsuit against Big Fish Entertainment and Reelz over its true crime series “Live PD.” The settlement came Friday as a stipulation in its multi-year distribution deal with Amazon — a move that came together to “amplify the reach” of the network’s brands on Prime Video.
“A+E Networks and Amazon have agreed to significantly expand their commercial relationship in a multi-year agreement that will amplify the reach of A+E Networks’ brands and content on Amazon’s Prime Video service,” a spokesperson said. “In connection with that agreement, the legal dispute between A+E and Big Fish Entertainment and Reelz concerning Live PD has been resolved.”
