Dawg 13 Comments

With Big Brother 14 set to première on July 12th, 2012, CBS is not happy about ABC trying to steal their ratings and viewers with their own reality TV show called “The Glass House”.

ABC’s recent unveiling of their reality TV Show “The Glass House” is causing quite the controversy as it is remarkably similar to CBS’s Big Brother reality TV Show. CBS’s lawyers have contacted ABC regarding the “classic case of copyright infringement” over their new reality show set to premiere on June 18th, 2012. CBS’s lawyers have announced that they will be pursing “all available remedies if this course of action continues”. CBS attorneys are demanding ABC stop all plans regarding their reality show “The Glass House”.

The CBS lawyers from the law firm Gibson, Dunn & Crutcher LLP contacted ABC via letter only three days following the news release of the new reality show.

In the news release ABC stated that their new show:

Big Brother 14 Legal Contract

Simon 19 Comments

Attached below is the Legal contract you must sign if you are one of the lucky Big Brother 14 Cast members. It’s a long document 36 pages in all, if you take the time to read it in full you will realize that CBS Production has pretty much complete control. It’s their show so this is understandable.

Here are some tidbits I took out of the contract

Production can change the rules at any time
I’m surprised this isn’t abused more by CBS

I understand that my failure or refusal to comply with the Series Rules (as they may be changed, modified or amended by Producer in its sole discretion from time to time with or without prior notice to me) in any respect or to any degree may result in (subject to Producer’s sole discretion) my immediate elimination from the Series and the forfeiture of any and all prizes, stipends or other monies even if already rewarded, granted, earned or received by me.
