“The one thing in our contract the DC lawyers can’t contest, or reinterpret to their own benefit, is that I am the sole owner of the intellectual property. I can sell it or give it away to whomever I want.”
Willingham is 67 and cannot afford to sue DC over a contract he says it keeps reinterpreting. So he gave Fables to everyone. His contract made him the sole owner of the IP, and that was the one clause DC’s lawyers could not twist. A corporation built a legal moat and the creator drained it with one press release.
