New Superboy Ruling Apparely a Boost to the Time Warner Side of Things

Enough folks have sent this link to someone reporting on and posting the results of the latest decision regarding the ownership of the Superboy character that it must have run multiple places in the comics word; I apologize for not knowing where. In a nutshell it looks like a big win for Time Warner, who get a new hearing and have managed to make it so that facts in evidence the last time around won't be in evidence this time.

At the very least, if you're at a computer that can handle a big PDF download, you should take a look at the ruling for its treatment of the legal battles from 60 years ago to present day. There's a lot of mythologizing about the relationship that Superman creators Jerry Siegel and Joe Shuster had with DC Comics that's unfortunate because it's unnecessary to over-emphasize the screwing they received and (occasionally) blow it up to Dickensian proportions -- it's still wrong, in the end, when a corporation profits as an individual suffers. This ugly business shall likely continue for a long while now.
