AA case begins

Lear60man said:
I was in Lutton last month and was waiting for passengers. I grabbed the local paper and read the latest on the AA case. I started to share the article with the the rest of the crew and I noticed the 'and we care why....." look.

That really is the proper response regarding the situtaion. With ALL of the absolutely monumental problems and issues facing the world today, the fact that this lawsuit has taken up as much time, consideration and resources as it has is actually a little mind blowing to me. The whole thing is really quite silly. Even as fan, the only thoughts I've ever had in regard to this whole thing is, "who cares?" It's a friggin' stormtroooper helmet. It looks cool, yes. All the rest...nobody should really care. We've all got much more serious things to ponder than who did or did not make, or recast, or sketch, design, or not design, or hold a stormtrooper helmet. I know this is a prop site. But this has gone on for way too long and consumed way too much time. Plus which, how do you even root for a side? One side is the definition of crushing, corporate greed who wants to sell fans lackluster "repros" at "top notch" prices, while the other is a liar who offers more accurate repros. Just gimme a stormtrooper helmet. I don't care where or who it comes from. If we all only purchased from "honest" companies with sterling reputations, we wouldn't own much of anything if anything at all. Sad, but true.

QFT.:thumbsup
 
There is a magazine called Floor Covering Weekly. A magazine... about floor coverings... which is apparently such a dynamic industry that they need to come out with a new magazine once a week just to keep up with all the newest developments. I'll bet the floor covering people are equally concerned with matters relative to their business, which are of no global import, either.

As for which side to root for, you root for LFL, which has demonstrated a willingness to look the other way and let us do our thing for the most part - so long as we don't get too obnoxious about the whole thing, like AA did. So screw him. There has always been a delicate truce in effect, and he broke it. If any of us opened a full-on website and started selling stormtrooper helmets, "original moulds" or not, LFL would bring the hammer down. That's the deal. Stay under the radar, and they'll pretend they didn't notice. The dude appears to have mental problems, anyway.

Well it is a multi-billion dollar corporation dealing with the entertainment industry...films, TV, toys, DVD, etc.....all big industries and the LFL empire really exists because of the characters in the original movie. So from a legal, copyright, industry standpoint it's significant I would think. But ya there are definitely more important things going on in the world today...much more important.

Things in the world that not a single one of us here can do anything about, so we b**ch and moan about things that we care about, related to the community we are part of.
 
Right... if you care so much about the world... go save it and leave us nuts to the arguing of props! :lol






Hey... come on... that was funny... come on... put those pitch-forks away... hey... that hurt! :eek

Thomas,

sure there are more important things going on in the world - people discuss those issues on boards without the word 'prop' in the title.
