> Nobody wants to hire people who sue

so why bother ever paying one?



Because that gives the studio the reputation of being a deadbeat. All the incentives point towards "keep disputes private and resolve them out of court if possible".

Obviously, if the studios never pay, then nobody agrees to work for them, and the whole system of creative production just collapses.

Related note: iD is going to have a harder time hiring composers now that this is public.
