[QUOTE="Wincenworks, post: 9172242, member: 7038835"] [ATTACH type="full"]315219[/ATTACH] Observing from the outside it seems he has been (unsurprisingly) doing the semi-SovCit approach of finding some aspect of law in isolation and failing to recognize that just because there is a simple doctrine doesn't mean the practice around it is not infinitely complex. He seems aware that rich people do things like claim loans to their own businesses against their taxes, that lawsuits discontinue because one party goes bankrupt (leading to the other side just losing interest) and that trademarks expire... but loses interest the moment there's complexity or subjectivity in the way. It doesn't occur to him the corporate raiders who claim massive tax deductions due to bad loans to their own businesses plan for that contingency from word go in collaboration with their army of lawyers and accountants. He just assumed WotC would not dare to come for him personally (based on the texts with Michael he seems to have assumed he was playing chicken, not engaging in serious corporate warfare), and he didn't realize that generally speaking - claims regarding visual trademarks still in the market (though with no new products being created) is a very different matter to picking up an old text trademark that disappeared off the market years ago. Each step doesn't make sense in the big picture because he's not actually looking at the matter as a strategy, his "strategy" is that this next move will definitely guarantee him flawless victory against the dumb dumb corpos who are wasting money on lawyers, accountants, analyists, etc. [ATTACH type="full"]315222[/ATTACH] [/QUOTE]
