That's not how things work. Do you think when AT&T bought Warner Brothers that the seventeen million contracts that Warner Brothers negotiated became invalid overnight and everything had to be re-negotiated?

Also literally not one brainiac legal eagle in this thread has access to the complete Daybreak agreement so it's just tongues flapping.

Finally, the whole are they allowed to or copyright questions or what is legal or what is a gray area are great theoretical questions for the classroom. What happens in the real world is the big company just sues anyway, right or wrong doesn't matter, just to bury the other party in legal bills. And the small player folds 96% of the time.
