Law suit victory against Disney is like a Millionaire Progressive Jackpot Win

The British company behind the smash hit “who wants to be a millionaire” received a win something like that of winning the Jackpot against corporate giant Walt Disney & Co.

The grand total was 269.4 million dollars in compensation after Celador claimed they had been short changed on royalties from the Us version of the quiz show.

Celador attorney Roman Silberfeld said the verdict after three days of jury deliberations “was deserved.”
But Disney vowed to appeal the decision.

“We believe this verdict is fundamentally wrong and will aggressively seek to have it reversed,” the entertainment giant said in a statement.

According to Celador, emails from former Disney chief executive Michael Eisner valued the game show at one billion dollars. According to attorneys for Disney, Celador received around 20 million dollars during the show’s three-year network run.

The British firm received a flat fee per episode, plus a share of the profits, which fell sharply after the show went into syndication in 2002.
