Honestly, the actual plotline is archtypical, an "ordianry girl" with a secret double life and the antics that brings. Logically, if said story is archtypical, nobody could sue Disney over this.

This keeps happening to Disney. There is a guy who is suing them because he says he pitched the story for Pirates of the Carribean before the authors of the movie did. Now this. Disney isn't an easy company to win a lawsuit against, so it is puzzling why this keeps happening to them.
Is it because the plaintiffs believe Disney will settle rather than fight? Is it because there is some measure to truth to these allegations? Geez, I hope not. Maybe, as lpetiti said, it's because Disney deals with such archtypal stories that many people come up with similar ideas and honestly believe they are owed money when something becomes successful. I notice that no one stepped up to claim plagarism on The Haunted Mansion Movie or any other box office failures.

The entire Hannah Montana plot is thin and very unimaginative. I could have come up with this plot. The problem is that the plot of the show is so simple that anyone could sue Disney and say that they came up with the idea.

It seems a lot of people sue Disney way after they should have. Like the article said, it is in it's third season. Is there anyway this guy could have missed all the promoting it got, and just realized NOW that his idea was copied? Just like the guy who sued recently because he claimed he created Mickey, sue when it first comes out. How could you have waited this long
I think this guy realizes how popular the series is, and wants to cash in

I wonder how they tried that one...Pirates has been a ride at DL for over 40 yrs unless they say they pitched it to Walt Disney that would be the only way they could possibly get away with it. |

It all about money. I am sure that person THINKS it was his idea, but I seriously doubt Disney would just take it! If there is something they REALLY want Disney can easily obtain it. Unfortunately there are a lot of people out there that are broke or greedy and will go after anyone with money to try and earn a living. It happens everyday. This world doesn't have an over abundance of ambulance chasers and a whole yellow book full of lawyers phone listings and ad's for no reason. All about $$$$$!

CAN'T WE GO ANYWHERE WITHOUT BEING BOMBARDED BY HANNA MONTANA!!!
Honestly, I think the lawsuit is more baloney, but that doesn't stop lawyers from trying in this litigious society. And I really get sick of seeing Hanna Montana pitched from every store shelf in the world!!! |

Isn't this always the way?!?
Somebody gets a good idea for a movie,or a TV show,or a cartoon or whatever,and as soon as it becomes a hit,every pinhead crawls out of the bloody woodwork and says,"Hey!I thought of it first!I'll sue!". |

Money. Plain and simple....
People think that because Disney is so huge, they wouldn't want to fight a little court battle, even if the plaintiff doesn't stand a chance!! And Wedbliss.... that was a good one! Who would take credit for Haunted Mansion anyway?! :)
