in a move worthy of King Solomon, the honorable Stephen Larson (a Federal Judge in central Cali) dropped a 72 page ruling on the matter of who owns the copyright to Superman (the Original superhero and multi-billion dollar cash cow of DC Comics and parent company Warner Brothers) establishing that Action Comics #1, the first appearance of Superman, was not considered to be a product of work-for-hire, making the copyright for that issue (and, naturally, the character of Superman) eligible for termination by Siegel’s heirs. What that means in simpler terms -- the Siegels now own half of the Superman copyright, along with DC. in fact, if this ruling stands, DC could stand to lose Superman outright in 2013 when Shuster's case comes before federal courts...
