Superman

Just recently DC comics lost a battle in the courts with the Siegel family regarding the rights for the Superman Franchise. The Lawsuit was the family suing for loss of profits future and past since 1999. Not even the creator - just his family. This will probably effect the superman movies, TV and probably comics. He is a very loved character, but I don't understand someone who sold the character to DC can win a case now that he is worth a lot more money. IGN.com says this:

"The Siegel family had been out of pocket for years after Joe Siegel (together with his partner Joe Shuster) sold the rights to his creation to DC Comics for just $130. He died in 1996."

He sold it, (Probably early on) I guess I might have a different opinion if it were sold when he was worth alot more money. Which if it was later in life it would have sold for much more money. I guess sometimes I just don't understand. Anyway "Bat the idea and let me know what you think."
