I’ve just read your recent report on the “Watchman” issue and I must admit it proves your point! So sad that I must admit this, but, you’re right, Fox is blameless in this situation. Oh well, I hope WB learned something from all this. Thanks again for all your responses from this debate they were truly informative. Score one for you!

Don’t forget, not only did fox communicate with wb well in advance, fox launched the lawsuit almost a full year ago

Clearly you have more information then I do, but I can’t understand why they waited so long until the eve of relelease to bring about this lawsuit. I completely understand thier right to sue and I agree with it. What I disagree with is the timing of this lawsuit, especially considering how quick a studio usually files a lawsuit at property and copyright offenders.
That’s what myself and a lot of other people are mad at Fox for, not for the lawsuit itself but for the timing. Again you have more information than I but do you truly believe it appropiate for Fox to file this lawsuit now, on the eve of release, instead of say 6-8 months earlier when (or if) they had the opprotunity?

One day I got an email from someone who had already trademarked the band name and told us to cease and desist using the name immediately or suit would be brought against us. We didn’t check with P&T before we named our band, but I suppose that was our mistake.

Especially with something like a major motion picture where millions upon millions of dollars are at stake, you’d think WB would take the time to do a little research.

I read the letter earlier. You do realize it’s written by a completely biased individual who stands to make a fortune if the film gets released and stands to lose a fortune if it doesn’t.

Also, the point of his letter is totally irrelevant. All the letter points out is that Fox wasn’t interested in MAKING the movie. But that point isn’t relevant in the least. The point is… the rights belonged to Fox. It’s their right to make or not make anything that belongs to them.

So we’re left with my original point. This mess is WB’s fault. If they had done the proper work in the first place to ensure they had the RIGHT to make the movie, none of this would be happening right now.

Fox is doing nothing but enforcing their legal rights which they are legally obligated to do. Period. End of discussion.

have you read this??

if you’re not…you better do it now…
