Warner Bros Denied Access To Siegel/Shuster Documents The Hollywood Reporterreported yesterday that Warner Brothers lawyers were denied access to internal documents between the Siegel and Shuster families and their legal representation over matters pertaining to their legal battle with Warner Brothers over key elements to the Superman character, as made possible by current copyright law. It's a pretty straight-forward story, the only interesting thing to me being that it's being portrayed a bit as a key ruling in the ongoing legal matter and it seems to me this is more about Warner Brothers' full-on press against the two creators' families rather than something that resolves the core legal issues being hashed out. Then again, these kinds of cynical moves are really where the mega-corporation is at this point with this matter. I remain baffled that anyone at Warner Brothers let it come to this, and suspect like many that the matter could have been resolved for much less than has spent so far, let alone the risk of loss to which the company has opened itself.
