As it is was not bad enough news that Joss Whedon has announced that there will be no more Firefly movies or TV shows, Slashdot carried this story:
“What happens when a film studio and a fanbase get into bed? Fans of Joss Whedon’s Firefly, and the movie by Universal Studios — Serenity — are not amused. After being encouraged to viral market Serenity, the studio has started legal action against fans (demanding $9000 in retroactive licensing fees in one case and demanding fan promotion stop), and going after Cafepress. The fans response? Retroactively invoice Universal for their services.”
To date the browncoats are invoicing Universal for $1.8 billion dollars for the viral marketing they created for the movie. You have to love the hutzpah.
