"In its lawsuit, CBS claims an unnamed ABC executive instructed others to try to hire as
many former "Big Brother" staffers as possible to undercut its competitor."

Gonifs stealing from other gonifs....that's sickening. Despicable.


What is a child suppose to think when he sees adults around him stealing busines from their friends? Whether
outright theft of money, or theft of business or business ideas, it is afflicting the entire Hollywood community.

Despicable.

According to a complaint filed by CBS in Los Angeles federal court Thursday,
ABC's "Glass House" "replicates every key aspect of 'Big Brother,' including,
among other things, its plot, themes, mood, setting, pace, characters, sequence of events."


CBS alleges that "Glass House" steals "copyrightable expression, trade secrets, and other confidential and proprietary information" from the show. At least 19 former staff members from "Big Brother" are employed on ABC's "Glass House," the complaint notes.


What are the names of those 19 former staff members from "Big Brother"?
