In response to 20th Century Fox's move last week to prohibit distribution of its new release titles to redbox and other DVD-rental kiosks, redbox has filed a federal lawsuit against the studio in Delaware Federal Court, the company announced today.
Mitch Lowe, president of redbox, says the company is standing by its promise to protect consumers' rights to timely DVD access:
 | Redbox's cornerstone principles include providing customers with a convenient way to rent new release DVDs at an affordable price. At the expense of consumers, 20th Century Fox is attempting to prohibit timely consumer access to its new release DVDs at redbox retail locations nationwide. Despite this attempt, redbox will continue to provide our consumers access to all major new releases, including 20th Century Fox titles, at our more than 15,000 redbox DVD rental locations. |  |
