The story is old and tattered, but is over:

I like the closing photo of Ansel - a grin and a sigh of relief.

Anyone going to grab a "free" poster ($12.50 for shipping)?

Uncle Earl is 'da man!

...the only one to come out of this mess looking good.

Finally for the first time since last summer Ansel will Rest In Peace!

Actually, the decision did not assign authorship of the negatives to anyone. There was not even a decision that the negatives were not AA's. It was just agreed to stop using AA's name in any connection with the found negatives and the AA Trust gets to approve the disclaimer used. Both sides pay their own legal bills, etc.

So from a legal standpoint, no decision was made as to who made the negatives.

SSShhh! Don't tell anybody. I made them.

It seems to me that the lawyers are the ones to come out looking good.

Not looking good but the only ones profitting from it.

My father had a small statuette showing two people fighting over a cow - one pulling the horns, one the tail. In the middle sat the lawyer, milking the cow.
