Godfather Game Lawsuit [Jun 19, 2008, 11:19 am ET] – Share – Viewing Comments
Mario Puzo may be sleeping with Luca Brasi and the fishes since 1999, but his
estate is not letting anyone horn in on his territory, as
this report indicates that Anthony Puzo has filed a lawsuit against
Paramount Pictures over revenue from the recent Godfather video game. The
author's son claims the estate is due at least $1 million from the game, based
on an agreement between his father and the movie studio in 1992 that was "to
give Puzo a significant share of the revenue of any audio-visual products sold
or rented with elements of the 'Godfather' movies." Paramount has not yet
commented on the lawsuit, though in an interesting related note,
EA has made it clear a sequel to the game is in the works.
Existing products based on that IP will continue to be sold until they sell out. No new products based on that IP can be made.
Wow. You're an idiot. By your logic, no music more than 40 years old or so could be played or obtained, Mozart, Bach, Beethoven, Mendelssohn, and all the other great classic music would go away and we'd have the latest bubblegum pop.
We couldn't attend a play by Shakespeare, nor read War & Peace, or for that matter, the bible.
I know what you'll say... "that's all public domain", but by logical extension, your idea would do away with public domain.
Please, do us all a favor. Don't vote. Ever.
