Raindog Posted August 7, 2017 Report Share Posted August 7, 2017 I can see that being tossed out of court almost immediately. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DisruptiveConduct Posted August 7, 2017 Report Share Posted August 7, 2017 This guy is saying in court what every one knew for years. Luck to him. Settlement will be his best possible outcome. A corporation like GW will never admit to or be proven guilty in a courtroom those days. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WestRider Posted August 7, 2017 Report Share Posted August 7, 2017 Kinda surprised he didn't also mention all the stuff GW "borrowed" from Dune as well. Also, just because I know it's going to come up over and over again, I'm pretty sure that 3 cents per Model price is ignoring a whole ton of costs involved in the production. I wouldn't be surprised if that's just the cost of the raw plastic itself or something. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grensche Posted August 8, 2017 Report Share Posted August 8, 2017 I was just watching a youtube video about this. I honestly don't see it going anywhere, its just going to stir the beehive known as GW. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted September 20, 2017 Report Share Posted September 20, 2017 Found a neat site that tracks lawsuit progress for this one: https://www.pacermonitor.com/public/case/21573299/Moore_v_Games_Workshop,_Inc_et_al Hasn't been quashed yet, as far as I can tell.

Brick Bungalow Posted September 25, 2017 Report Share Posted September 25, 2017 I have no legal expertise to reflect on this but I do want to give a shout to whoever picked the illustrations. Very clever. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I mean, it's definitely true that GW exists by copyrighting public domain content and pretending they invented it, especially the old fluff. That said, not sure why that means that GW owes this guy 62 mil. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

True, but this guy didn’t have the rights to the copied material either so why would he get to sue for that lol 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Duckman Posted December 18, 2017 Report Share Posted December 18, 2017 The way the US legal system works he was suing for other things but that was part of his complaint. It does not claim to hold sole rights to anything but is mentioned to define a class in case any other plaintiffs want to join the suit. It was likely also introduced as a means of back-dooring information into the complaint to demonstrate the nature of the defendant (i.e. claims public domain information as protected IP). There's a reason to avoid reading legal documents unless you really have a vested interest. The US legal system is all about a specific process which is intentionally obscured so that the layman cannot represent himself and thereby deprive some poor, deserving lawyer of his retainer and $500 per hour. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
