WCH - a tip of my hat to you for being able to predict my Pavlovian response. But how about it? Permisssion, even without direct product or content approval, is still involvement is it not? And it does seem to fly in the face of the loud protestations that the Estate simply stood there while others exercised their rights accordingly and they have no comment or involvement of any kind. You may not know this for fact..... BUT ... do you think that permission came with any kind of royalty paid to the Estate?
