I'd agree with Lingster, if you sell the rights to your story - you're selling the righs to its reproduction elsewhere.

Unless a company collapses, when it gets bought up, those rights are transferred too, I believe.

So as the company you sold your story to got bought - they could own you.

From what I understand, a writer owns the scripts, the studio owns the right to production and this is a standard thing (mainly because he says other B5 writers should do the same with their scripts, not just their B5 scripts). It doesn't strike me it's a deal JMS made with WB (how could it transfer to other writers' works in other shows?), but it's possible I was wrong.

No, I think you're right about the scripts and the studios thing, Fett. But I still don't know how relatable it is to TheGov's legal issue (being different mediums)...

Did you sign away anything?  I know the way it works in the music industry
is if you gave away publishing writings, through written contract you
no longer have the rights to publish the music. However, If you have not
then the intellectual property, and publishing property is yours from the moment of its creation
regarless if you registered copy  right or not.
