Would-be Taylor Swift concert attacker loses privacy case against Disney
The court said the brief address image did not identify Beran A. or create a concrete danger, and Disney removed it after the complaint.
- On Wednesday, a Vienna court dismissed a privacy lawsuit filed by Beran A., convicted of plotting a 2024 attack on a Taylor Swift concert, against Walt Disney over his parents' address in the documentary series.
- Disney has been screening "Taylor Swift: The End of an Era" since last year, featuring scenes of three canceled Vienna concerts after authorities discovered an Islamic State plot.
- Attorney Ulrike Zeller argued the publication endangered Beran, claiming his personal sphere was compromised by revealing the address to an audience of millions.
- Judge Nicole Baczak dismissed the claim, saying "a concrete endangerment" of Beran was unsubstantiated; Disney lawyer Georg Kresbach noted the material was removed in May.
- Beran's parents received $3,400 compensation each, though Zeller plans to appeal the verdict ruling that a home address lacks the highest level of legal protection.
