When did people start thinking that Emails were contracts? “He violated the non-embarrassment clause of my Email!”

When will GE wise up on the Jeff Zucker problem? He needs to replaced for the sake of the shareholders.

As for Project Runway NBC could very quickly buy the original concept because PR was a plagiarized show idea to start with. There’s a pending lawsuit that was filed by the original creators and if they’re smart they’ll make a deal with Bravo to continue doing the show under a different title just use their original title and presto an identical show that predates the Project Runway knockoff.

NBC could then seek to enjoin Lifetime from airing Project Runway because it would “infringe on the copyright of the original show.” How’s that for irony?
