I know the answer is in the article but the headline doesn't make clear if Netflix sued or are being sued. My 2 cents.

    "Netflix sued" would mean they are being sued, "Netflix sues" means they are doing the suing.

    Unless it's something that happened in the past...

    “Netflix [had] sued” is as reasonable as “Netflix [was] sued,” is it not?

    Edit: love it when you make a reasonable point and wind up with zero replies but exactly one downvote. Such a funny little experience, these moments are.

    Had/was kinda implied this is a thing that happened a while ago. They could probably do something like "Netflix suing for..." and "Netflix being sued for...", but the confusion is probably intentional for clicks.

    Serious question:

    Have you ever wondered why you enjoy being shitty to other people?
