Beschreibungen/Notizen

• The result, Celador claimed, was that ABC and Buena Vista entered into an agreement where the network would pay a license fee equal to Buena Vista's production costs. Because Buena Vista also got a 10% overhead charge and interest, this guaranteed that the series "would show a perpetual, ever-increasing network-run broadcast loss," Celador's suit stated. "There is still going to be some hesitancy on the part of financial representatives of talent where their clients have to spend a lot of money and there's some risk involved," he says. [...]the biggest impact of the case seems to be not on accounting practices, but rather in studios' need to demand more stringent arbitration clauses, in which disputes are resolved by retired judges, rendering final decisions often out of the sight of the public.
