He isn't asking for more money than was promised. He already got paid for his work on Dukes. What he is asking for is the money he is due for merchandise sales. The studio took 22 years to give him a statement and the numbers don't add up.
If you had a contract that stipulated that you got 2.5% of merchandise sales and you saw your face plastered all over lunch boxes, toys, games, DVD's and other merchandise wouldn't you want an accurate accounting of that too?
Also, head over to his website, he has found a way to make money off his fame and he isn't starving. But that doesn't mean he doesn't deserve an accurate statement form the studios.
You guys should really check out his website and see what he's up to. In addition to living off his Dukes of Hazard fame he is an artist and has paintings for sale and even takes commissions. His paintings are pretty good, at least IMHO. I'll have to start saving up for one.
No, their mistake was using shady accounting practices and an abundance of weasley contract clauses.
The studios should be able to provide a clear and concise accounting of how much money a given franchise has made and who has made what.
James Best may or may not be owed millions, but he, along with anyone else that signed a studio contract is owed an accurate accounting of whatever they were involved in.
Makes sense. It's not as if iPhone, Windows Phone or Android users are rioting. I mean it's only BlackBerry users that are causing all this trouble right?

Let's not forget that the cable providers have an incentive to limit Internet access beyond 'network management'. They don't want you using your Internet connection for watching TV, they want to sell you both packages.
