"Before Sternberg submitted his manuscript, Disney had him sign a two-page waiver that said he would be entitled to only $500 if he were to claim that the company used his material without permission or authorization.

A little less than the cost of a root canal.

And if "Nemo" had been a big flop, I'm sure this guy would have pressed the suit anyway, right?

The 'Disney' brand used to mean something. It's a shame to see what it has turned into. I really miss Walt.

Sorry, dude, but I've got no sympathy for you if you signed such an agreement.

Dennis G. Sternberg .... said he used experiences as a diver to create an underwater adventure story for children in 1991.

And he just now noticed that Nemo had coppied his story.
His family needs to send him to detox while there is still hope.

Disney has more sleazy lawyers than this guy can afford. Too bad. He'll lose.

No, it was dreamed up by child chef, Billy Nelson, and his tap dancing tuna, Xenar.

Disney Rep: Please sign this Mr. Sternberg.

Mr Sternberg: What's this?

Disney Rep: Oh nothing really. Just a release form we'll whip out in the event we decide to break the laws we expect everyone else to obey but see no reason to obey ourselves.

Yeah, and Disney's cartoon about the lovable beer-drinking banker is about me.

I believe NEMO was stolen from the French first.
