Anyone that refers to Starfury as SE5 is not well informed.  |

On the contrary. Such person is obviously is well informed about the identity of the best space 4X game ever ! It is a person who stares back blank when you ask about SEV is ill informed

Re: Space Empires V or ridiculous lawsuits? What is the connection?
There's only one thing I'm really, really concerned about as far as the future of the SE franchise goes. Of course we can expect to see SEV sooner or later, and hopefully SEVI, SEVII, SEVIII, and so on.
But what if the series reaches part X?! What will we call it then?! And more importantly, wouldn't it be illegal for Shrapnel/Malfador to market and sell it?!
Things that make you go hm.

If that happens, Paramount and Activision would sue Aaron for the name's similarity to one of their products.
Hey, if starbucks can do it, anybody can.

we need common sense as part of the judicial process.

Re: Space Empires V or ridiculous lawsuits? What is the connection?
How would you go about enforcing that? Are you going to limit people's right to sue in court? Where do you draw the line? Who are you to say where the line is?

Re: Space Empires V or ridiculous lawsuits? What is the connection?
Yes, limiting access to the courts and/or limiting the remedies available could be the first step to despotism.
Like it or not, the courts are one of the lynchpins on which our society rests. It is one of the means by which a person can stand up to a powerful individual, government or corporation.
Everyone is entitled to his day in court. Even if it is a frivolous claim.
But the courts have the right (and will often exercise it) to award costs against the party who frivolously initiates a suit or defends one where there is no viable defense.
