If you ordered C&A T-Shirts you just made Platinum Studios money. Some would call that a revenue stream. I don’t see how a company can go bankrupt if they make money every time someone sells a "Cowboys & Aliens" product, especially since they have these items registered with the United States Patent and Trademark Office.

I thought I would include some of the items that require a license from Platinum Studios in order to use the words “Cowboys & Aliens” on the product. I am intentionally leaving out thousands of products for demonstration purposes but I’m sure you’ll get my point. For a complete list you can visit the Patent and Trademark Agency at the Department of Commerce link posted below.

The suggestion that PS will go bankrupt is absurd given the fact that they maintained all merchandising rights for Cowboys and Aliens. The poster that said PS doesn’t make a nickel from the box office was correct. Who ever said that they don’t get paid until the 168 million dollars it took to make the movie was made back was incorrect. Every time any C&A merchandise is sold Platinum Studios gets their cut.

So since I have invested my dollars in this company expecting to see a return based on information provided by Platinum Studios and verified with this government agency; could someone please explain to me how PS goes bankrupt and fades away since everyony is selling stuff with Cowboys & Aliens all over it?
