A "breach of an implied contract."  Tricky at best, murky and muddy at worst.

Just a quick comment on it…

I get what the plaintiffs are trying to do but the tricky/murky part to me is personnel (based on ideas for reality shows).  For example, Nosfer, Learjet, and Stephen come up with a show called "Demon Destroyers!" in which they find, face and ultimately destroy demons.  It is turned down.  A year later, Kate Beckinsale, Heather Graham and myself come up with a show called "Demon Destructo!" in which we do essentially the same thing.  Do the three guys get payment for the idea for their show (which wasn't green-lit) or just by involving different personnel is the second show different enough to be called its own?

It's a hard call, especially because many of the reality shows aren't based on the "idea" or the premise, it's based on the people involved. 

I have a feeling this case is going to get tossed… 

Demon Destructo!…look for it in July on Bravo!
