Harlan Ellison posted on his Website that he has settled his lawsuit against Paramount Pictures over his script for the now classic episode, “City on the Edge of Forever”. The suit arose from Ellison’s claims that Paramount had failed to pay secondary use rights from the episode, and that the Writer’s Guild (WGA) failed to act on his behalf.
Stephen Schleicher began his career writing for the Digital Media Online community of sites, including Digital Producer and Creative Mac covering all aspects of the digital content creation industry. He then moved on to consumer technology, and began the Coolness Roundup podcast. A writing fool, Stephen has freelanced for Sci-Fi Channel's Technology Blog, and Gizmodo. Still longing for the good ol' days, Stephen launched Major Spoilers in July 2006, because he is a glutton for punishment.

I just hope they paid him properly. With interest.
