I just saw this. My wife and I love this movie, and always excpected that it would stretch the truth a bit. Anyone know more about this, or have and insights to what it means (legally, morally, etc).

They better, just so he can get the money he deserves

Why does he deserve any money? You can't copyright facts.

Because it's his life story... Why do random people who took advantage of him deserve money?

[–] koberulz@lemmy.ml -1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

They don't, either.

It being his life story doesn't matter. It's a true story, he can't copyright it.

I don't think that's how it works

You can't copyright facts. How would the world even function if you could?
