We’ve covered this one before, but it seems that Animator Claude Robinson, who filed suit against the former animation giant, Montreal-based CINAR, for copyright infringement over his pitch The Adventures of Robinson Curiosity, and the show they subsequently developed, Robinson Sucroe. CINAR, or whatever’s left of it, brought the fight to the Supreme Court, who ruled unanimously in Robinson’s favour.

Case closed. 20 years later.
Mike,
Do not say “Case closed” until Claude has been paid the money he is owed. This took 3 trials and he has yet to see a dime.
True JP, although where they could appeal to now is beyond me.
