Re: (OT ) Litigation: Sony vs. White Wolf
Skimming through the brief once, I'd say that White Wolf has a good case. There are many, many similarities in both general theme and character details. I agree with Geo though, that Sony was probably unaware that they had been sold a 'stolen' property. Unfortunately for them, the law doesn't recognize 'good faith' in this respect, and they are the 'deep pockets' anyway, not the screen writers who probably did know what they were stealing. The only question is whether WW can purse to the end, or whether Sony can just wear WW down with legal maneuvers until they can't afford to pursue the case. Given the relative difference in size between the plaintiff and defendant it seems quite possible that Sony will just stonewall them.
