Booster Entertainment:
A copy of their bankruptcy petition: [link]
They think they owe $361123 to customers. Assets, two faxes. Some actors are listed as owed. Only one of the owners signed it.

Discussion of the Mutant Enemy series, Firefly, the ensuing movie Serenity, and other projects in that universe. Like the other show threads, anything broadcast in the US is fine; spoilers are verboten and will be deleted if found.

I know this is a publicly available document, but I have to say I don't think you're putting yourself in the best position by making the full names and home addresses of 500+ fans so readily available. Kind of smacks of a huge privacy violation, IMO.

Hmm. Yeah, you have a point. I'll see if I can find something which will let me edit the PDF to remove sections. It's available from the courts website, though, so possibly not much of a useful exercise.

Yeah, I know. But it feels like it's one thing for involved parties to go through the trouble of hunting down the information and another for random bystanders like me to have access to so much personal information by clicking on a link here or at BE Victims.
I'm HUGE into guarding my privacy, though, when it comes to personal details creeping online. I often have my guard up.

I actually agree. A few years ago I had somebody from online world turn up at my house. They ran around in the garden outside. It was... surreal.
That said, though, I figure the doc is going to be useful to people at that group. I'll pull it from the site after a few days, I think, and set it so archive.org and Google can't get to it.
There's some odd shit in that document. For a start, you can see how much all the Whedonverse actors get paid as it's in the accounts. Bruce Campbell is well cheap!

What is even happening?
I noticed Brand X registered a LiveJournal account and posted at that be-vicitims LJ (which I keep thinking is 'be-screwed'). I knew I knew Brand X. I couldn't remember why.

I've had assistance with the personal address data in the Petition for bankruptcy, and we've been back and removed the personal addresses from the online copy.
Also, I've spoken to a legal person about the documents today. They've had a look, and they think there's some real issues with the petition.
I really feel torn about the issue. I think the fans deserve more than $4 each back, but it'd mean making the owners liable personally for a lot of the money. Hohum.

So? I thought the owners deliberately defrauded the fans. Shouldn't they be personally liable?
