Disney royally fucking over Alan Dean Foster by saying they "bought the rights" to his novels but "not the obligation to pay royalties". (boundingintocomics.com)

At most, Disney could sue Lucas for selling them the rights without disclosing the associated baggage that comes with those rights. But any lawyer who argues Disney doesn't have to pay those royalties should instantly lose the privilege of practicing law.

Well I mean with the amount of lawyers Disney has something like this wouldn't "slip through" ALL of them.

Hmmmm.

To have an opinion I'd need to know more about the lineage of the contracts.

Disney bought Fox and Lucasfilm, so if the contracts were with them then Disney is their legal successor and bound to their obligations unless they seek bankruptcy protection.

unless they seek bankruptcy protection.

So what you're saying is:

  1. Find someone with bad business sense.
  2. "Encourage" them to buy an asset you want.
  3. Wait until they fold.
  4. Acquire the assets but none of the liabilities.
  5. Profit!
