Attorney's Lawsuit for Profits from the Sopranos is Rubbed Out
This one arises from the set of the Sopranos. An aspiring writer, who also happened to be a New Jersey prosecutor, claimed that he contributed to the development of a number of themes and plot lines that ended up on the HBO television show. When the Sopranos hit big, the writer sought repayment. The Third Circuit Court of Appeals ruled that, assuming that the parties formed an oral agreement, it was simply too vague to enforce. Although the Court remanded the case on a quantum meruit theory, this one looks like it's already sleeping with the fishes.
