Sometimes a really big check is written and everyone knows there is a settlement.

So, even though no one admits anything, whoever pays is usually in the wrong.

What if, as part of your payment though, you get someone to say they were in the wrong.

That would be a nice way to settle a suit involving a hit show on a streaming service.

‘Stranger Things’ Plagiarism Suit Withdrawn By Plaintiff Just Before Trial

Just days before Stranger Things creators the Duffer Brothers were set to face a trial on claims of plagiarism for the origins of the Netflix hit series, the whole thing has ended today.

Plaintiff Charles Kessler has withdrawn his wide-ranging damages suit against Matt and Ross Duffer.

“After hearing the deposition testimony this week of the legal expert I hired, it is now apparent to me that, whatever I may have believed in the past, my work had nothing to do with the creation of Stranger Things,” said Kessler in a statement Sunday.

“Documents from 2010 and 2013 prove that the Duffers independently created their show. As a result, I have withdrawn my claim and I will be making no further comment on this matter.”

Netflix was quick to respond to the end of what could have been a revealing case and trial for all concerned.

“We are glad to be able to put this baseless lawsuit behind us. As we have said all along, Stranger Things is a ground-breaking original creation by The Duffer Brothers,” said Netflix in a statement. “We are proud of this show and of our friends Matt and Ross, whose artistic vision gave life to Stranger Things, and whose passion, imagination and relentless hard work alongside our talented cast and crew made it a wildly successful, award-winning series beloved by viewers around the world.” – Source
