the chipmunks:Those adorable, annoying, uber-litigious Chipmunks are at it again.Bagdasarian Prods, owner of the “Alvin and the Chipmunks” franchise, is suing EMI Music for allegedly failing to pay appropriate royalties on a boxed set of Chipmunks music featuring 24 songs…
The franchise now resides with Ross Bagdasarian, Jr., who has not been afraid to sue his Hollywood partners. Last year, for instance, he filed a massive lawsuit against 20th Century Fox for half of the profits on “The Squeakquel,” which grossed more than $200 million in theaters. (The dispute is still pending and was recently appealed up to the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals to determine whether it should be adjudicated in district court or by arbitration.)
