Bullshit.
Pfft.

Bullshit.
Pfft.
exactly

[JetRaiden]

seems somewhat reasonable. but unjustified.

[Heavygain]

I saw this comming, but i think NCsoft will win this.

Obviously.

City of Heroes was fucked the day it came out :rolleyes: .

It's fun for a month, then it gets boring as fuck and repetitive.

[LimpBIT]

man fuck marvel. All they are out for is money. City of heros is a great game and they made it so you cannot make superhero names for a good reason. SO SHIT LIKE THIS DIDNT HAPPEN. Fuck them and their lawsuit. NC better win because they are a good gaming company and dont deserve anything like this

[NightWalker XI]

indeed, shame that, it has potential.

[WritheNC]

It's too bad Marvel has to sue because they don't know how to manage their money.

How much did they make off the Spiderman and Xmen movies? And they feel the need to sue?

This is just retarded, just because you CAN make a superhero that looks like a marvel character doesn't mean NCsoft is responsible. If NCSoft were encouraging it, that would be a different story.

[GeneralRazor]

That lawsuit will never go thru, but I could care less, CoH was lame.

[martyr]

you cannot make superhero names for a good reason.


indeed. marvel can blow it out their collective ears.

[Lonehunter]

When the came first came out there were so many Wolverine wannabes it disgusted me



Edit: Seriously, had to get some pepto

[Electrofreak]

Thats just sad. Just because a player can create a character that LOOKS like a copyrighted Marvel superhero doesn't mean CoH is breaking any laws. It simply has a customizable character creation that provides a good deal of options in creating a character. I think Marvel is grasping at smoke here.

[MrVicchio]

I am waiting for Santa to sue, there were 15 wanna be "Santa Claws" scrappers running aorund for a while.


Don't say NC Soft should win this easy, remember, we are talking the courts, and the courts awarded some lady millions cause she spilt coffee in her lap. Never trust the courts when it comes to stupid lawsuits to make the right call.

If Marvel WERE to win... thats just not kewl. I'm gonna boycott Marvel now

[TotalBiscuit]

Doubt they'll pull it off.

Closely resemble doesn't cut it, not only that.. but even if it did, the people infringing the copyright would be the players, not the company.

That's like sueing a paper manufacturer because someone printed off a few pages of Harry Potter on it.

If this were a European court it would be thrown out.. sadly though the American legal system is nothing short of a joke :|

TB.

[Hamma]

It was only a matter of time for this to happen IMO.

Yea... lets not start that my friend. Stay on topic and don't try and troll in or derail this thread. Because you know peopel are going to respond to that BS 90% of the members on this forum are very proud americans.

[Heavygain]

I never bought marvel in the first place. I never liked comics.

[Lise]

Thing is, since a lot of those superheroes are, what, 50+ years old, their copyrights might have worn out, or at the very least things like them without using the actual characters are "public domain icons"... if you build it, they come...

It's true though *shrugs*

Most Americans even realize it.

You just want to be banned don't you? Quit your shit or else you're going to end up like Tek and Dhark. GONE!

[KeviN]

I'm a proud American, I love this country, but TB is right. We have an awful legal system. He's not a troll, it's a completely backable opinion.

"A good lawyer knows the law. A great lawyer knows the judge." :love:

[_-Gunslinger-_]

Hes still trying to derail a thread, this isnt about the validity of our legal system when compared to Europe. Its about marvel being a bunch of whiny losers who thing that CoH is acutally making profit off of the ability to look like spiderman or wolverien or whoever. Im only in BUSlaw 1 but even with my limited knowledge of precidents it looks like marvel aint gonna get shit, and probably get stuck with whatever court costs incurred.

Truth and honesty are apparently offensive in this community.

And if that is the case then it's not a community I wish to be a part of, so if they wish to ban me, they can go ahead.

And yeah, I'm a law student. To expect me not to comment on the law is feckin absurd and if the carebears in this community find that offensive, then so be it.

This is a thread about the law. My comments are legal related. Problem is what?

Dude, wtf is your problem, you have all the right in the world to express your opinion. But all you do is say offensive things, i really would like to see you banned and i admit that. I GAURUNTEE you that if you would have said the shit you said about peaces girlfriend to Jennyboo, your ass owuld be banned. Seriously, youve gotten at least one thread locked in the last week, and i dont think you have any people on your side. yes, the US does have a messed up legal system, but if a war between US and Europe came, the US would win.

Back on topic, Marvel is just looking to get money. I can KIND of see why they are trying to sue, but its a dumbass reason.

And people wonder why I'm mean when the people I'm mean to post rubbish like this..

Pffft.

[Giovanni]

The topic TB was never about the US legal system but rather about the sheer stupidity of Marvel comics sueing the pants off NC because of something rather idiotic.

Basicly, you came here saying "Well us Europeans are better then you are Ner ner ner ner ner ner!". You could have commented innocently like anyone else but you keep derailing threads, flaming and trolling. I'm sure you'd appreciate me coming into one of your threads saying that Canada is better and that my girlfriend looks better then yours. :rolleyes:

Conform or leave it's as simple as that, we don't need people that irritate other people we already have Firefly.

[TotalBiscuit]

Conform or leave

All I needed to know.

Christ this place is actually worse than Forumside. It's like a cliquey repressed carebear version of it masquerading as a reasonable community.

If this is the kind of ridiculous attitude PSU users have then ban me right now, for my own sake.

End of posting on this thread.. before this one get's locked too and then I'm blame for being MEAN AND UNREASONABLE TO PEOPLE.

What did you just call me?

[Mag]

Your FACE.

[Giovanni]

I ask you to conform to a small rule called common-sense!

I'm not saying to be a copy of every other user or to ass-lick everyone. I'm saying that if your going to be an ass or try to prove your superiority then don't. We frankly don't care if your girlfriend is hotter, we have no proof so as far as I'm concerned she could be a boar with oozing puss coming out of every orrifice. We don't care if you think your law system is better eh unless we're debating just that.

[MattxMosh]

Your FACE.

Your MOM.



OH SNAP!


You just got served.

Would you like fries with that?

TELL ME, O MUSE, of that ingenious hero who travelled far and wide

Double served.

Well'p, he fucked Jennifer Anniston after that.

[TotalBiscuit]

*** I'd ask you to take your own advice :huh:
I'm not saying to be a copy of every other user or to ass-lick everyone. I'm saying that if your going to be an ass or try to prove your superiority then don't.

*** All I'm concerned about is putting forward my opinions, and correcting people who are wrong. Except they get bitchy about that.. because apparently telling them the truth is mean.

We frankly don't care if your girlfriend is hotter, we have no proof so as far as I'm concerned she could be a boar with oozing puss coming out of every orrifice.

*** That was never a question and I never claimed it. If you'd managed to get past your self-righteous rage before replying you'd have realized that all I said was that I did not think Peace's gf was hot. That's because I didn't and still don't. That is only my opinion. This however was apparently offensive to some people...

We don't care if you think your law system is better eh unless we're debating just that.

*** We? Who's this we?

[ObnoxiousFrog]

Heh heh, "sacked".

Would you like fries with that?

[Mag]

To this I respond:
All those things at which thou wishest to arrive by a circuitous road, thou canst have now, if thou dost not refuse them to thyself. And this means, if thou wilt take no notice of all the past, and trust the future to providence, and direct the present only conformably to piety and justice. Conformably to piety, that thou mayest be content with the lot which is assigned to thee, for nature designed it for thee and thee for it. Conformably to justice, that thou mayest always speak the truth freely and without disguise, and do the things which are agreeable to law and according to the worth of each. And let neither another man's wickedness hinder thee, nor opinion nor voice, nor yet the sensations of the poor flesh which has grown about thee; for the passive part will look to this. If then, whatever the time may be when thou shalt be near to thy departure, neglecting everything else thou shalt respect only thy ruling faculty and the divinity within thee, and if thou shalt be afraid not because thou must some time cease to live, but if thou shalt fear never to have begun to live according to nature- then thou wilt be a man worthy of the universe which has produced thee, and thou wilt cease to be a stranger in thy native land, and to wonder at things which happen daily as if they were something unexpected, and to be dependent on this or that.
