He claims he published the movie in 1995. There must be a record of which movies were published during what times. Assuming he did publish it in 1995, that's the proof. Otherwise, he's just a big liarhead.

Of course we'd have to start getting juries that weren't just Cletis and Cecil from the trailer park who had no real jobs. We need some intelligent and logical thinking juries, instead of these "feel sorry for everyone" juries - and maybe some good judges too. Oh well, one can dream.

Before We Begin...
...I wanted to mention a lawsuit filed in Florida this week. Plaintiff Royce Mathew claims that he created a storyline, later used on a CD-ROM that was sold in 1995, which has many ideas used in Disney’s 2003 blockbuster movie, Pirates of the Caribbean. Here are some quotes from his lawsuit, specifically the question-and-answer section:
Disney’s 2003 supernatural pirate movie contains the same unique story as found in Royce Mathew’s original creative materials. Both feature a key unique story of pirates who don’t want anything to with the treasure/plunder, attempting to return a gold medallion with mystic properties on a gold chain to a cave by the ocean, in hopes of breaking a curse that affects them. Not being able to enjoy the pleasures of life, like crying, enjoyment of eating and ending their everlasting thirst. The effects of the curse the pirates endure is revealed by moonlight. Both have a pirate ship named "The Black Pearl." None of these unique story components are found in Disney’s Pirates of the Caribbean ride attraction. [...]

Some examples [...] included Royce Mathew developing characters, one who is a blacksmith, one who is an eccentric pirate and incorporating the names J. Everett Malord William Turner. The blacksmith is poor, independent and an expert swordsman. The eccentric pirate is introduced being alone, and is wearing eyeliner. Royce Mathew also designed a protagonist character named Elizabeth S., who is the daughter of a governor, who is kidnapped from her mansion and is taken aboard a pirate ship named "the Black Pearl" to confront an evil pirate captain nicknamed Blackheart.

Also in Royce Mathew’s creative materials there is an apple in a scene between the protagonist and the evil pirate captain as well as having a discussion about a single gold medallion on a gold chain. There is the threat of the protagonist to drop the gold medallion on the gold chain at the ocean or not drop it at the ocean. Holding it out, the Protagonist clutches the gold chain in their fist, with the gold medallion dangling. The gold medallion on the gold chain is not dropped and the story continues. The gold medallion has a mystic property of being able to summon/call especially near the ocean.
