Peter S. Beagle wants his money for Last Unicorn

[The Holy Saint, Grand High Poobah, Master of Monkeys, Ehlers]

I know what earnings numbers are based on in principle, but where's he getting the figures that say he's owed cash? Maybe they haven't actually made profits. Publically traded companies have to publish these figures, so it's a matter of research. Then he shouldn't need a lawyer. Just point out. They made x dollars and spent y. X-y=z, thus they owe me a share of z. that's straightforward, brooks no argument.

Private companies, might be more difficult. I'm not sure how easily the figures could be gotten. Though I'm sure a court order would be sufficient. However, they're records may be afu, so it would take a while to tease it out, and then you'd have to convince the 3rd party judge.

so, basically, what I'm really asking is this: Does he have numbers that demonstrate the company made money off The Last Unicorn? Or is he just assuming and trying to get rabid InterWebs denizens and hardcore sff fans worked up in his favor?
