Tom,
Let me respond to your post in a slightly different way. It's obvious that Rossi and IH signed the contract. But that does not make it fair from an IP point of view. Also, a number of provisions of the contract may be interpreted differently. Similarly, for Rossi's and IH's actions related to the contract and to IP. Getting to the bottom of this requires both knowing all of the facts (which we don't know) as well as legal interpretation (to be done by a Court).
That we comment here on the basis of previously published facts and that ultimately a court will decide on the case is probably quite clear.
But just as you have brought your views expressed, I also expressed my estimation.
And I can assure you that I have examined the known facts intensive with different perspectives.
