MUMBAI: Contrary to belief that copyright problems arise in India only, it has come to light that such things are prevalent in Hollywood too.

It is being said that The Weinstein Co.(TWC) has sued writer-producer Kevin Williamson over rights to a film project called Shadows.

In a lawsuit filed Wednesday in Los Angeles Superior Court, TWC claims that it hired Williamson to write and produce Scream 4 in 2009 but a dispute broke out over whether Williamson breached his duties.

According to the suit, TWC settled the matter in 2010 buying Williamson out of his Scream 4 deal. As part of that agreement, TWC claims Williamson agreed to relinquish control over several other projects including Shadows.
 
But Williamson now claims that he still owns the Shadows property.
