I stand corrected. It does happen. There are scummy people in the animation biz - big surprise, huh?<br /><br />The scary thing is that Cinar was so overt in stealing an idea. But the investigation into the intellectual property theft also uncovered numerous cases of Tax Fraud which led to the company's demise.<br /><br />On that level, when the top executives of a company feel that they're above the law and immune to prosecution, they start to get sloppy.Steve Schnierhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01766696319640794064noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6533060251712853383.post-48506653247124853712009-11-30T08:19:23.966-08:002009-11-30T08:19:23.966-08:00The "one idea pony" usually has no train...The "one idea pony" usually has no training or experience in the field or medium he/she wants to produce their idea in.<br />But it is true about the treatment of the idea, and a recent lawsuit which went in favor of the creator (see articles relating to the case of Claude Robinson vs Cinar)about how Cinar stole the treatment of his creation . And if you think A Montreal animation company's debacle is of no importance, ask the millions of Canadians and Americans who had a lot of their RRSP/401K money invested in Cinar at the time.JPilothttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07948005987931788144noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6533060251712853383.post-55554905308772008632009-11-28T15:50:32.543-08:002009-11-28T15:50:32.543-08:00Hey Guys,
