Wisdom of the Crowd episode 5 spoilers: Sophe’s future in jeopardy

Moving into Wisdom of the Crowd episode 5 airing on CBS next week, there are many questions regarding the future of Sophe. What’s one of the biggest ones? Let’s just say that this is tied very much to copyright issues and whether or not Tanner really owns his crime-solving platform in the same way in which he things that he does. There have been some challenges that we’ve seen him face, but this could be one of the biggest ones because we’re not quite sure having a pool of users is going to really help in the midst of a legal battle.

If you look below, you can see some additional Wisdom of the Crowd episode 5 news right now via the fine folks over at CBS:

“Clear History” – Tanner’s previous company claims Sophe was created using their copyrighted codes and legally threatens to shut down the organization. Also, Cavanaugh works with Tanner to solve the murder of a retired detective after his boss removes him from the case due to a personal connection with the family, on WISDOM OF THE CROWD, Sunday, Oct. 29 (8:00-9:00 PM, ET/PT) on the CBS Television Network.

Ultimately, Wisdom of the Crowd looks to be focusing both on a case this week and a little piece of Tanner mythology — yet, there is no word as to whether or not we’re going to get any more information right now regarding his daughter’s murder. Maybe it’s coming and CBS doesn’t want to spoil it? For the time being, though, it feels far too early for the show to really address it.

As for whether or not a previous company could shut down Sophe that just seems like a fairly dodge operation in the first place. After all, you don’t want to run the risk that you face a public backlash. Regardless of when Sophe was created, are you really going to shy away from the fact that the platform is clearly helping people and trying up some loose ends?  You want to protect your rights, but sooner or later public pressure could cause whatever you are hoping to get out of such a case to be completely nullified.
