Do the production companies not just have it both ways? They want the intellectual property. The witnesses are saying it has to be signed over to the producer companies, and that is the standing company, so it has the intellectual property and, presumably, then benefits from the royalties from that. Maybe the witnesses could clarify that point. However, these companies do not want the employees. They are left with the DAC.
