Yes, undoubtedly, as there have been with all new media (Peggy Lee

won millions in damages when a court agreed that Disney had no rights

to put Lady and the Tramp onto video)  - it is a transitory thing but until

it

is worked through,  there are rich pickings ahead (mostly for the

lawyers)


>i wonder how these contracts are being worded.


Carefully.   The best lawyers have  seen this coming for several years.  I

was first asked to advise on it in 1994
