I hope Google paid you for this response.

I suspect the short prison sentence is because he flipped on the people above him.

Netflix is pretty much nothing now except foreign reality TV. Thank you for reminding me I need to cancel them and Hulu.

Dr. Dan?

Isn't this movie like 17 years old?

About 10 years ago it was probably closer to 80% IPAs. It was a big joke here that IPA stands for I Pretend (I'm not an) Alcoholic.

The only reason there is more on the market now is because we all stopped pretending the taste of motor oil with grapefruit gave us a better buzz.

Even now, most breweries will only seem to offer 4 varieties of IPAs, a pilsner/lager and a stout. Maybe an Amber but I feel the Mac & Jack's copycat scene has mostly died out now.

Apple is the company who gave all the elementary schools free computers in exchange for putting their advertising posters up in.the hallways.

It was fully intentional.

Except this isnt a random person looking to get famous. This is a well respected journalist and editor represented by established publishing houses and a respected law firm.

I hate saying it because its an obvious statement, but he literally wrote the book on the subject.

If people are being interviewed specifically because they previously participated as a source in a book and they are provoked to give the same specific anecdotes they gave to the original author, just to get around paying a fee, then the original author's work is still being adapted.

I think what probably happened is Apple refused to greenlight production with the author's involvement. He might be the specific editor of gizmodo that Apple had swatted about 10 years ago, accusing gizmodo of espionage.

That is always possible, but in this case I suspect that isn't so.

This author has independent research and can likely prove that nobody before them ever presented the story in the structure of a spy thriller.

The author can also prove the Tetris company had the galleys before publishing. A professional studio would have likely never allowed one of their screenwriters to ever read the book. I think this case.is going to get settled.

I am sure he can prove what in the film came from his book and what didn't. The article specifies much of the book was written from his own sourcing.

If there is even 1 thing in the film that cant be sourced to a 2nd published article, than that proves his book was in part adapted.

Interesting. I will keep an eye out.
