[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]pp here again. I look at it this way.

Let's say I am really talented and invent a widget. Some family takes me into their home and I sign a contract with them. The family takes my invention and grows it into this huge industry. I make millions on my own with my widget. But the family also makes millions on the business they built off my widget.

1. I should definitely get royalties off the widget. (So I agree Oher should get $$ for the book, movie,)
2. If family builds side businesses off how the widget became a huge industry by starting a foundation, going on speaking circuits, and doing whatever else the family comes up with - I shouldn't get that money. 
3. If I want to start my own side businesses off my widget - I should do that, same as the family, and earn my own extra money with those.

I do think it's sad if this truly was just a business arrangement for the family, but maybe it wasn't. I'd like to think that they originally took him in because they cared, but then maybe saw a money making opportunity and went that way. Which is sad, but if it's the way I see it above, sounds like it was fair (if he did get his portion of the money owed.)[/quote]

There is something sick about you comparing a person and their life to a widget. Your comparison is stupid. [/quote]
