Mark Forstater

Mark Irwin Forstater (born 1943) is a film producer, writer, and audio producer, notable for producing the film Monty Python and the Holy Grail and then in 2012 suing the five living members of Monty Python over a dispute regarding royalties from merchandising income, including the Spamalot musical, which was "lovingly ripped off from" the Holy Grail movie.

He was born in 1943.

On 4 July 2013, he won the High Court of Justice case against the surviving members of Monty Python over royalty payments to Spamalot as a derivative work of Monty Python and the Holy Grail. They owed £800,000 ($994,600) in past royalties and legal fees, prompting them to produce Monty Python Live (Mostly) in 2014 to pay down their debt.
