- h2odragon 3y agoI thought they came to a "no tell" settlement on that in 2021
- bryanrasmussen 3y agohmm, OK I missed it then. Although really I think it still relates then, they came to settlement that they won't tell because hey they didn't want to a clear ruling that when you buy a company's assets you also buy their liabilities because that might make it more difficult to run the same scam later.
- h2odragon 3y agoI don't know how the other authors made out. IIRC Disney said they owed no royalties on the entire "Star Wars" extended universe books, entire. I don't think I heard anything about the other authors caught up in it except that there was some.
