Stan Lee to be Paid Millions for Spidey

Posted by CmdrTaco on from the big-bucks-true-believers dept.

Soldrinero writes "After a tough legal battle that began in 2002 (mentioned in a previous Slashdot story), Stan Lee will finally get his due. A recent court decision says that Marvel owes Lee 10% of their profits for works based on his creations. Since three recent Marvel-based movies are in the all-time top 100 for box-office gross, this will be a sizable chunk of change."

  5. A telemarketer tells ME to stop calling! by Anonymous Coward · · Score: -1, Offtopic

    So about 2 weeks ago this telemarketer calls me (actually it was a recording with their number). I hate telemarketers and had nothing better to do with my time so I've been calling about 5 times a day and when they answer I just play musical buttons. About a week into it, what sounded like a black guy answered and threatened to kill me and blow my house up. Calling me a little f'ker and cussing up a storm. It's my lunchbreak and I decided to call them again, they told me they're going to need me to stop calling me and hung up!

    A telemarketer told me to quit calling and hung up on me. How funny is that.

    Here's there number if you are bored: 1-877-256-7894
