[QUOTE="Mouseferatu, post: 1109657, member: 1288"] Frankly, anyone who is leaping to the conclusion that this suit is frivolous--or to the opposite conclusion, that Sony is a bunch of thieves--needs to seriously slow down, take a deep breath, and try to gather some real information before drawing their lines in the sand. WW isn't suing because the movie uses vampires and werewolves. That would be a no-brainer. They are claiming 17 specific counts of copyright infringement, and 60 specific points of overlapping details. To simply assume that their case is flawed or frivolous, [i]when none of us know what those details are[/i], is foolish. Ditto to assume that Sony knowingly stole the material. Even if it turns out to be plagiarized, odds are most of the Sony execs have never even [i]heard[/i] of White Wolf, and the responsible party is a screenwriter or three. Until and unless we actually learn what the specific points of conention are--and all we know so far is they include, [i]among other things[/i], similarities to one of Nancy Collins' published stories--casting blame is just an exercise in futility.
