"Crouching Plaintiff, Hidden Lawyer"

I do wonder who benefits the most? Could it possibly be the lawyers...?

Story:
Call it "Crouching Plaintiff, Hidden Lawyer" if you want. The Weinstein Co. has filed suit against Columbia Pictures over the rights to five books by Wang Du Lou that includes Tiger.

In December, The Weinstein Co. entered into an agreement with the heirs to Wang Du Lu with a plan to make films of all five books in the series that produced Tiger. Columbia Pictures reportedly claims to have a verbal agreement with one of those heirs, Hong Wang, and they protest that they have the option on the books.
