I sent a note to a friend of mine who is a longtime Hollywood actor & photographer, recently turned producer.

I asked him his opinion of the settlement. Here’s his reply:
It seems to have either been a stupendously costly farce, or a bold step in the right direction. I have no opinion worth making, but I do have a beard, a lot of time for making photographs, and a bank account that would make a ascetic shudder.
