Gotta wonder if the last sentence in that paragraph is supposed to be a scare tactic. Sure comes across as threatening, doesn't it?

That's everyday legalese for "If you want to give us an idea, the lawyers have to touch it first."

Just about every media company in America subscribes to that policy, for protection from litigation by angry creative types insisting that "someone stole my idea."

So unless you view a statement of standard office procedure as "threatening," the answer is no, it doesn't come across as threatening at all.

Thanks.
That's the first time that type of statement has shown up in any emails I've received from the networks. Kinda caught me off guard and I wasn't sure what they had in mind.
