- I called & spoke to Invstr RElations - the girl wasn't too up on things - but she did say that KDE pays to produce the kids' shows on WB; then KDE gets paid royalties from the advertisers

- also, KDE pays royalties to the owner of pokemon, yu-gi-oh, etc... But for Cubix, since its jointly owned by KDE, they'd keep all that royalty payments for themselves

- The amount of up front vs percentage payments KDE gets from the downstream licensees vary

- bottom line - KDE can be a cash cow if any of their hits take off -
