There is an old joke in Hollywood that goes "Contract? Of course we have to have a contract! If we don't have a contract, what basis do we have for renegotiation?"
I'm afraid that in this case your analysis is wrong. The problem is not with Peter's contract. The problem is that the other side is blatantly violating that contract, based on provably fraudulent accounting, and relying on the fact that they are Very Big (and therefore very costly to sue) to get away with it.
With help from Peter's fans, we can show them that their size will not protect them.
Simple as that.
