I heard Ford made a car that looked like a Chevy.
Why isn't that in the news?

Perhaps because Ford didn't try to sue Hyundai for making a car that looked like a Chevy.

In all of these discussions about intellectual property rights, this is perhaps the most wonderfully succinct summation to date.

Kirasu: Have we fallen so far that we are excited that GW is giving us the opportunity to spend 58$ for JUST the rules? Surprised it's not "Dataslate: Assault Phase"

Because you're not on a car website. The only people who know (or care) about this are GW or EA fanboys or black knights.
Car companies do care about design copying, which is why they spend millions of dollars annually to protect their IP.

Why are we a GW fanboys or black knights ( wtf?) if we are interested in a case about copyright infringement against GW? In the Chapterhouse thread, many of us seem to be on Chapterhouse's side. In this thread many of us are on GW's side. Are you going to start calling us fanknights or something? Did you stop to think that perhaps many of us are simply reasonable people who can differenciate between actual infringement by EA and overreaching regarding Chapterhouse by GW when it happens?

Who Cares? it's not like any court winnings would be reflected in anyway to the customer, if you're that bothered, don't buy the game?

It is not enough to defeat our enemies! We must crush them utterly to total annihilation, burn their digital libraries, raise their studios, pulverize their very bones, and then salt all of EA so that nothing can ever grow there again.
Honestly.. what is so debatable here? I agree with SamsStuff... unless GW loses a court case and then is counter sued for damages we probably won't see anything change.
