Whilst at a store on main Street this past weekend, I asked a CM (whom I shall not identify) if the CD soundtrack for this year's HMH is a definite no or a maybe no. The CM seemed a bit uncomfortable, struggled for the right words, and then told me Disney is in litigation over that and the outcome of the case will determine if a soundtrack CD is released or not. I.e., if Disney wins, we get a CD. When I asked for more details, the CM said there is a gag-order in place and they're not supposed to discuss it at all.

Has anyone else heard anything like this? Is the CM possibly confusing it with the Pooh case?

I can't imagine what the litigation would involve, and even if there was litigation, I find it hard to believe that a CM working in the store would be privy to that information without anyone else having knowledge of it.

I'd treat the story as highly suspect unless someone else more reliable tells the same story.
