I just recently checked out Faeit212 and hoping for new rumors, instead I saw something that pretty much made my stomach turn.

Long story short.
-Someone puts a book on Amazon with the generic title including "Space Marine"
-GW files a complaint that they own the term "Space Marine" and block the book from selling.

I seriously hope this blows up in GW's face. From a company that gets so much style and settings from outside sources, they seem pretty oblivious to just how dumb this is.

What do you guys think? This pretty much disgusts me that a company would try to claim ownership of a term that's flooded the entire genre.

What we think is covered in several closed threads in news&rumours and several open threads in General discussion
