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

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 :|

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...

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.

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?

TB.

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.

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.

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

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.
