LOS ANGELES, April 23 (UPI) -- A California judge dismissed Quentin Tarantino's lawsuit against Gawker for linking to a leaked script of the director's planned film The Hateful Eight.
Judge John F. Walter of the Central District of California said Tuesday that the Oscar-winning filmmaker failed to prove that Gawker's post was an act of direct copyright infringement. Walter gave Tarantino's attorney until May 1 to amend his arguments and refile the complaint.
