Feels like when Microsoft licensed Mosaic from Spyglass to become Internet Explorer, and a chunk of the compensation was tied to a fraction of revenue from Internet Explorer. Of course Microsoft gave IE away as part of Windows so IE never had any revenue associated directly with it.
Eventually MS did settle a lawsuit brought by Spyglass for $8 million to make the issue go away.
- CydeWeys 5y agoThat's a great parallel. Most of Disney's profit on this movie is gonna end up coming in the form of Disney+ subscriptions, which she won't be getting any cut of. And unlike the Spyglass case, her original contract explicitly anticipated this -- Disney just ignored it and now a lawsuit is the only way to settle it.
