Members dragonflies Posted January 9, 2014 Members Share Posted January 9, 2014 I know it's about royalties, but ABC has nothing to do with iTunes or HULU Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members marceline Posted January 9, 2014 Members Share Posted January 9, 2014 It sounds like there is some confusion by either the plaintiff or the author regarding ABC's responsibilities in this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members cassadine1991 Posted January 9, 2014 Members Share Posted January 9, 2014 Well.. Interesting, it's not like when the Dobsons sued ABC, but still interesting Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members allmc2008 Posted January 9, 2014 Members Share Posted January 9, 2014 So the Dobsons actually won? I thought they never went to court. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Vee Posted January 9, 2014 Members Share Posted January 9, 2014 Why in the hell would Sam Hall be owed royalties by anyone? He hasn't worked on OLTL in over thirty years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members All My Shadows Posted January 9, 2014 Members Share Posted January 9, 2014 I believe the iTunes episodes of AMC and OLTL were the first time full episodes of either show were actually available for purchase (which, in and of itself, is a tragedy of epic proportions).

Members SouthOfSoap Posted January 9, 2014 Members Share Posted January 9, 2014 I would imagine Itunes/Hulu would pay royalties to ABC who would then pay a portion of those royalties to whoever is due. But this case makes zero sense unless Hall is owed royalties in perpetuity, like intellectual property of some sort. Perhaps it was in his contract? They're not selling/showing episodes from 1984, are they? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
