I agree with Mr Vengeance's comment - he's not looking for Paramount to pay him for "rights", but acknowledgement or thanks would be nice by the way of common courtesy. Then again who knows... maybe someone will mention him in the DVD or Blu Ray special features. But it would have been nice if they'd directly knowledged/thanked him.

Michael Bay/Paramount haven't done anything illegal or immoral... but just somewhat discourteous IMHO. Royalties are expensive. Good manners are free.
