Harlan Ellison Wins Again

Harlan Ellison bests CBS Paramount over 42 year-old Star Trek episode - TV Squad: "You have to admire the tenacity of writer Harlan Ellison. He filed a lawsuit against CBS Paramount accusing the company of not paying him for all the ancillary income the company earned from the episode of Star Trek he wrote in 1967, 'City on the Edge of Forever.' Yesterday, Ellison announced on his web site that he had settled with CBS Paramount and he was very, very pleased. He didn't reveal how much money he made, but he probably did quite well."

(Orginally there was a posting from lawsuit over his copywrited work appearing on a page - an AOL blog I believe; Ellison did win). I'm glad he won this, I've kept eye on the case.
