Idea Theft In Hollywood.

Who knew that anyone in L.A. was actually thinking? (I’m kidding.) 

Let’s rewind. It is 2004 and the US Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit has just made a decision in Jeff Grosso v. Miramax Film Corporation which, in short, eased the difficulties faced by writers when claiming copyright infringment.  Bolstered by this 2004 win, Attorney John A. Marder is still crusading against the Big Studios on behalf of the slighted (or if you prefer…the opportunistic.)

    How did the “The DaVinci Code” lawsuits resolve in the end? Also, I wonder if this is going to have any effect on the work that’s published on places like YouTube–regardless of whether it’s originally inspired or derivative of some other copyrighted work?
