Default Confirmed: The Glass House copied Big Brother

Cast your mind back to just over a year ago and you'll remember the furore that broke out over Big Brother USA rival The Glass House.

It was axed a long time ago but the lawsuit was finally resolved today:

Quote:
CBS has announced that it has settled a dispute with producers of The Glass House, the ABC strangers-living-together reality TV series that was alleged to be a knockoff of Big Brother.

Last year, CBS sued ABC and many of the executives who had worked on the program. After a federal judge denied CBS' attempt to restrain ABC from airing the show, the plaintiff pulled its copyright infringement claim against ABC.

Instead, CBS decided to continue pursuing Glass House executive producer Kenny Rosen, ABC vp alternative programming Corie Henson and Glass House producer Michael O'Sullivan in arbitration.

On Monday, CBS announced the outcome.

According to a statement, "CBS will receive financial compensation as part of the settlement. The producers have admitted that one of them used confidential Big Brother manuals in the production of The Glass House, and they have expressed regret for using this material. In addition, those involved have pledged not to misappropriate CBS trade secrets in the future."
