I was told, directly, by a number of cast members that they were most
emphatically *not* paid for their appearances at VorCon, or in other cases paid
only partially. I have not heard anything to the contrary since then.

Beyond that, I know that WB has initiated action against Cooney on a variety of
charges based on his convention activities, but that's all I know at this time.
I don't really keep track of it because he's not worth the expenditure of
energy.

What hasn't been mentioned in all of this is that Dreamwatch Magazine did an
independent investigation of the situation, that cast members had not been
paid, spoke with the actors, and confirmed, in print, that the story was
correct.
