i'm not so sure about that one. Couldn't Larry get a contract with some other company (not ET) if he wanted to? If not, now, then later when he has custody and/or when HKS is no longer in charge of the estate. Or the contract could be nullified in some way (say if LB has custody and ET says see ya later sucka to HKS). Or if the contract has an expiration date (ya know it might just in case HKS wanted to jack up the prices in the future). Which makes me wonder how the pricing was on his lovely pictures and marvelous videos.
Depends on the contract. If Anna signed an exclusive is different from a regular contract. I'm sure that Howard is included in that contract with manager survivor rights. Hollywood people are always screaming about this stuff.
