Suing Gray Television (Patreon)

A woman that shot some spot news video and is suing Gray television for using her video without her permission. 

Victoria Mancha is suing Gray and their station WWSB (Sarasota) after she shot video of a Meteotsunomi hitting Sanibel Island, Florida.

NOAA describes a Meteotsunomi as "large waves that scientists are just beginning to better understand. Unlike tsunamis triggered by seismic activity, meteotsunamis are driven by air-pressure disturbances often associated with fast-moving weather events, such as severe thunderstorms, squalls, and other storm fronts.”

Mancha captured video of the Meteotsunomi and WWSB aired the video on the station and posted it to their website.  

Mancha claims she shot the video and has now filed a copyright claim against Gray, who as she says, used the video without her permission.
