Do Not, Disturbia
The estate that controls the 1942 short story on which Alfred Hitchcock’s Rear Window was based has come forward with a copyright-infringement lawsuit against the makers of Disturbia, claiming the 2007 teen-friendly thriller ripped off the Cornell Woolrich story.
Isn’t a ripoff these days known as an homage instead?

Actually, I am pretty sure that I just read how the estate of Aristotle is suing the makers of “I Now Pronounce You Chuck and Larry.”
The judge will have to rule on the precedent set from case number 0000009, aka “Eurymedon vs. Aristotle”. The statute of limitations ran out approx. 2300 years ago. Dang!
is there anything original since aristotle? and where did i read that, woody allen or something….
