If he didn't copyright it, anyone could use it. Plus, he sent it in. What a silly lad.

You got a point.

And also, Disney gets sued on a regular basis, nothing they haven't come up against and won before.

The daughters of A.A. Milne didnt sue because they thought Disney stole their idea of Winnie The Pooh, His widow sold the option to the rights to Disney. They sued because Disney was not reporting accurratly the profits of the merchandise that they were entitled to a percentage of.

The Plaintiff said that Disney Stole the idea of the show, and it was originally his idea. The Plantiff stated that He pitched the idea, for a show called "Rock and Roland" He gave the Idea To Disney Channel in 2001. It was about a Young Student who lead a secret identity of a Rock Star. When he sent in the ideas to Disney, They liked it, but didn't go anywhere with it. Soon enough came Hannah Montana, which is about a Teenage Girl, secretly a famous Pop Star.. Then came the law suits. Since it became so popular, and a World Wide craze, with merchandise. cd's dvds concerts, need i go on..Sheffield wants a share of the revenue.
More coming soon, just found out this very second
All i can say is Lol.

It probably won't get canceled. *cough*Iwish*cough*

Hmm... Typical Story.

I'd say that just about every day Disney gets sued for Something, and this one doesn't sound promising to me =/

Probably some nut-case who wants money. Unless he has proof that he thought of the show, like some sort of document thats signed or anything, hes just going to be embarrassed after being proven wrong.

If it was copyrighted, that's called "illegal."

Just for everyone's information, lawsuits against Disney are filed on average once a day. Few win.

All entertainment companies are sued over almost every show, successful or not. That's why those companies never accept script or story submissions from anyone - you must go through an agent. Anyone can claim they came up with an idea first, but if the companies don't accept anything without an agent, those people cannot say the company actually saw the idea and the suit is dismissed.

Even if someone used an agent, they need tons of corroborating evidence, such as a copyright, solidly dated notes, or things of that sort.

If this writer is telling the truth, and Disney knows it, chances are Disney will settle out of court. If not, then it's up to a judge to decide . . . not anyone here.
