TBT! Posted June 5, 2008 Share Posted June 5, 2008 This is interesting... http://www.tmz.com/2008/06/02/go-speed-racer-lawsuit-go/ So are we taking bets? Fraudulent AA or Dumbass sportsstar? Besides who invests $1m and then asks for $50k as compensation? T. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

drgnrbrn316 Posted June 6, 2008 Share Posted June 6, 2008 So, Art Asylum never had the rights to Speed Racer? And all that merchandise and the numerous references to Speed Racer merchandise and other content on their website still existed? I'm no lawyer, but shouldn't someone a bit bigger than some dumbass sports star be the one bringing up a lawsuit against them if the allegations were true? Like the people who actually held the license at the time? Something smells fishy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cyc Posted June 9, 2008 Share Posted June 9, 2008 It does, based on the page 4 it claims that as well as not adhering to contracts with sport guy that they also violating the terms of contracts with owners of Speed Racer which would seem to imply to my non-legal eyes that they DID have a contract for speed racer... just they exceeded what the contract allowed them to do. It would be amusing and somewhat sad if all they had the rights to do was produce webepisodes and related content, with no ability to release the "classic" stuff they did...

drgnrbrn316 Posted June 9, 2008 Share Posted June 9, 2008 It just seems odd that it took 2 years for any of this to come to light. I'd have figured the master license holder would have jumped on this issue and not random sports guy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
