What's behind the full-page ad in the trade papers the other day in which Hemdale Film Corp. "acknowledges the works of Harlan Ellison" following a "dispute" regarding "The Terminator"? Why does a similar acknowledgement appear at the end of the new "Terminator" videocassette and on prints destined for cable TV?
Derek Gibson, Hemdale executive vice president, conceded it was a copyright infringement dispute--"at least that's what Harlan alleged"--but said neither side was supposed to discuss the matter publicly.
