New Case Filed Re: Stan Lee Media

This press release states that a new suit has been filed against Stan Lee and his current company POW Entertainment in regards to a loose confederation of parties that has formed around the argument that Lee assigned rights to the Internet company bearing his name during its creation and then later negotiated a personal settlement with Marvel based on an interest in his co-creations at that company that should instead go to Stan Lee Media because of that previous assignation. Please keep in mind that this is PR. My thoughts on this story is that we long ago reached the point where it doesn't matter if there's enough legitimacy in an argument to sway whomever the interested parties try to browbeat in e-mails or to whomever will give their arguments the platform of an article, but whether or not the actual lawsuits work and return money to the SLM holders as intended. This is another step in our knowing this.
