The Library of Congress posted this story and image earlier today, dropping the story of how Gene fucked over Alexander Courage on the #StarTrek theme copyright/royalties.
“Raise your hand if you're a Star Trek fan. 🖖✋ Here's an interesting piece of trivia for you from the U.S. Copyright Office, which is housed at the Library of Congress: Alexander Courage's original theme song was submitted for copyright under his name on November 7, 1966.

@humanisttrek Although I reckon Courage didn't know at the time how much of a hit Star Trek would be, seems to me it's a lesson in the importance of carefully considering contact implications / hiring a lawyer well-versed in contacts.
