Premise Media is the production company which created "Expelled", a documentary about the way evolutionists have marginalized supporters of Intelligent Design in academia.
PZ Myers accused Premise of infringement, on the basis of perceived similarities between their animation of the cell and an earlier work created for Harvard University.
Jonathan Wells wrote:
Expelled does NOT use the Harvard animation. The producers paid a professional to create a new animation that is more accurate than the Harvard one (based on current knowledge of cellular processes). Any similarities between the Expelled animation and the Harvard one are due to the fact that both animations depict many of the same processes. [1]

I’ve gotten to know the producers quite well. As far as I can tell, they made sure to budget for lawsuits. Also, I know for a fact that they have one of the best intellectual property attorneys in the business. I expect that the producers made their video close enough to the Harvard video to get tongues awagging (Headline: “Harvard University Seeks Injunction Against Ben Stein and EXPELLED” — you think that might generate interest in the movie?), but different enough so that they are unexposed.
