Well, after reading that, there is one thing I agree with him about.

Sounds good to me.

Absolutely. But, I haven't seen Frank getting involved in this.

True. I've yet to know anyone who was 100% right all of the time.

For that matter, no one was closer to Jim than his own children. I don't care how many times they sold a company, they grew up with him. As for a money hungry stick, the hard reality is that it takes money to make good entertainment.

And that is important to remember. It seems like people on both sides are getting obsessed with Steve. Some are trying to make him out to be a Saint, while others are typing mysterious posts on his blog implying that he's evil. Both are absurd. It was a dispute about creative rights and who...

Well, aside from a short explanation of their issues with Steve, neither Disney nor the Hensons have made perpetual posts about what they thought he did wrong, as he does to them on his blog. That in itself qualifies as more than an ounce of respect. And it should be remembered that neither...

Fair enough, but at one point, it seemed like even you thought Steve went a little too far. If I misunderstood your post, I apologize.

Since you asked: It means that you can't expect Disney to ask Steve permission to use a character that they already own when he's bad mouthing them on his blog every day.

In any case, it would be highly unusual for a company to ask permission to use a character to which they have the complete legal rights to. I'm sure Steve knew how that worked going in.

And yet they recast Kermit right after his death. Rowlf was more Jim's character than Kermit?

Respect needs to work both ways though.

That's it. Split those hairs.

If they don't think what you're saying is legitimate, it will vanish as fast it gets on there.

Not when it comes to the character's use on a legal basis.

Not really. That's just the way it works.

Have you ever tried to edit Wikipedia? Not as easy as one might think.

Something that anyone cannot edit. Er...wait a minute...

Not sure if it's true, but it would sure be nice to have all the characters taken care of for future projects!
