Status of White Wolf lawsuit against Underworld?

[Faraer]

My impression is that Underworld's likeness to the Nancy Collins story "Love of Monsters" (the main point of the suit) was quite real and notable, but that it wasn't actually a causal influence on the screenwriters of the film. Did she retain copyright on her story or sell it to White Wolf? If the latter, obviously it would only be White Wolf who could sue Sony.

I just feel sorry for all of Will Shakespeare's descendents that have gotten rooked out of trillions in royalties.
