Anyone following the Western Kentucky mascot trial?

[MinnesotaFats]

Italian TV company takes mascot and creates a TV show around it.

Former PM owns TV company.

WKU sues for infringement because some idiot from Italy actually confessed that WKU was inspiration for character.

Former PM intimidates judge into dismissing case.

Higher court overturns in WKU favor.

Huge settlement coming up now!

[Mr KLC]

They'll probably get more money from the trial than their football and basketball programs bring in.

[RangeFinder]

Does WKU really think they are going to get money out of this? They wasted money on this

[Snowball]

Plagiarism is ruled out. "Evolutionary Plagiarism" is claimed, but Carey is getting desperate.
If there is a settlement, this is a stage down.

Why would they care about this.

I think the bigger issue is that despite a confession that they stole the mascot, the Prime Minister literally bullied a judge to get the 1st ruling for that stupid blob mascot.

Fair point.

Business as usual in Italy
