From what I read and what the new owner admitted, the new owner admitted he wasn't diligent enough with his pre-purchase understanding of what he was purchasing. The seller also didn't disclose he was selling property his corporation didn't own. The new owner admitted he was wrong.
Paul found his content being used by someone he didn't have any business dealings. A pissing match ensued and being 100% legally correct Paul turned into a hard-ass.
If contacted prior to the sale I'm sure Paul would have issued a new license for a token amount or thrown it in if more content was purchased. In fact a very agreeable arrangement was worked out.
In this case I think Paul was given a lot more shit than he deserved.
