Filmmaker Overcomes Supreme Court Setback to Pursue NC for Stealing Footage
Allen has been in court with North Carolina for years after the state took his footage of an 18th century ship led by the notorious pirate Blackbeard. First, officials in the state’s culture agency posted images of a salvage operation on its website. Later, came video.
