Money Talks
Aaron
D. Clark, 37, invented the talking poster, which responds to a button touch.
5,548,272 et cetera. Warner Brothers, New Line Cinema and others licensed
the technology, for movies such as Batman, Austin Powers, and music groups such
as 'N Sync and Backstreet Boys. Clark pursued Disney for a license in the
mid-90s, to no avail. This past summer, Clark's mom spotted a singing Hannah
Montana poster while shopping for a gift for Clark's five-year-old daughter.
Hannah Montana is a Disney character. Clark has filed a complaint in his home stomping grounds, Columbus
Ohio.
