On Ryder

"I feel compelled ... to address how deeply offensive it is to me that people like Mr. Ryder can ignore the hard work and creativity of others by trying to stake a claim to art and take credit for art that is not theirs in any way whatsoever, he said in the court battle.
Reacting to the win, Cameron stated, "Sadly, it seems that whenever a successful motion picture is produced, there are people who try to 'get rich quick' by claiming their ideas were used. Several such claims have been asserted in connection with Avatar. I am grateful that our courts have consistently found these claims to be meritless.  As I have previously stated, Avatar was my most personal film, drawing upon themes and concepts that I had been exploring for decades. I am very appreciative that the Court rejected the specious claim by Mr. Ryder that I used any of his ideas in my film."

When I filed my lawsuit against Cameron I guarantee what I was thinking about is "someone" who tries to "ignore the hard work and creativity of others by trying to stake a claim to art and take credit for art that is not theirs in any way whatsoever." - ER
Cameron acknowledged two dozen striking similarities between KRZ and the Avatar Scriptment. I see three dozen striking similarities between KRZ and the Avatar movie. More than two years from Avatar2's premier, I've identified four more striking similarities between KRZ and the Avatar franchise. 
What are the odds the stories were completely unrelated while in Development at Cameron's twelve person production studio at the same time? - ER
