[1] The company was involved in a prolonged legal case concerning streaming rights with CBS, Fox, and NBC between 2013 and 2017, with FilmOn ultimately settling.

[7] In November 2012, FilmOn founder Alki David sued Fox Broadcasting in a Los Angeles Superior Court, arguing Fox had allegedly "libeled David’s company, FilmOn.com, by making false statements and misrepresenting past court orders to third parties including Apple, Google and Microsoft."

[7] In February 2014, FilmOn introduced what it called "teleport technology" in the US that would allow users to watch local television broadcasts not in their region.

However, it was restricted by ongoing court battles from offering major network television in various locations in the United States.

[8] In July 2015, FilmOn served as the production company behind a new single and music video by artist Chief Keef.

In July 2016, FilmOn in California won a case agreeing with its interpretation, which "represented a threat to broadcasters", according to the Hollywood Reporter.

[2] On 1 May 2017, all channels were set to "Paid" - both SD and HD quality - which restricts viewing time to 2 minutes.

[12] In 2014, FilmOn launched Bloodzillathon, a channel devoted to kaiju movies,[13] and it also began streaming Voice of America in 2014.

[20] However, the ruling did not apply in the Second Circuit (which includes the states of New York, Vermont, and Connecticut) due to an earlier case brought by Aereo one of FilmOn's competitors.

That month, a US judge ruled that internet streaming services like FilmOn should be treated as a normal cable system.

[25] Specifically, in July 2015, George H. Wu, Judge for the Central District of California ruled that FilmOn could qualify for a compulsory license for television content.

Although it had granted judgment in FilmOn's favor, the Central District of California court maintained its preliminary injunction barring the company's streaming services pending the outcome of the appeal.
