Maurice, you are way off base with this Oliver Stone Secretive scenario. All negotiated commercial contracts are confidential in nature. The only time these contracts come to attention of outside interested parties is during a law suit or in a SEC filing. Even then, proprietary information is kept from the public. The reason is simple. COMPETITORS. Employment Contracts, Purchasing Contracts and the such are always closely held. And, after all a royalty agreement is nothing more than a purchasing contract. The only contracts that I know of that are freely seen are ones that have no negotiation available or Government Contracts. "The most basic and ridiculous is the concealment of royalties paid. Never has the official standard rate been disclosed. If that's not a criminal act, I have no idea why."
