Actually, it was reportedly the way the people involved preceded, which
included not asking the author in advance for his permission, consent about
anything, let alone for his participation. Also, it ended up expanding to
performances, etc., which they publicly advertised, and for which there was
to be remuneration. It was at that point his agents sent them a cease and
desist.
James told me he felt like he was treated as if he was already dead. I did
my best to stay out of the whole mess. I felt extremely bad for all
involved, in particular Nic Burns - who I have developed tremendous respect
for myself.
It was not a high point....and sad. It could have been magnificent!
