Good luck with everything Brian. Looking forward to what you have to say.


Thanks - it'll be good to have the true facts out in the open.

A few interesting excerps:

Quote:
…but as the opening statements included references to tusken raiders, storm troopers, even characters some of my favourite cartoons, I knew this was going to be different. And if I was a real “Star Wars” fanatic, I would see this as a once in a lifetime opportunity. After all, the Lucas side was flying in three Academy Awarding winning production designers to testify. The two sides even spent 10 minutes on the first day debating with the judge about how many breathing holes can be seen in the first drawings of helmets. After the judge left at the end of the first day, there was then a spat over which helmets should be labeled and displayed for the judge. The issue being the shape of a mohawk on the back of one helmet that I don’t even remember from the films.


Quote:
Lucasfilm accuses him of violating its copyright. Its lawyer said in his opening argument that Ainsworth manufactured the helmets based on detailed drawings and paintings sent to him through a costume designer. Ainsworth says he made sufficient and unique changes to the original design so that he should own the copyright.

The Lucasfilm barrister made the point that all these bits in front of him were more than movie props. “There are no helmets, there is no armour.” His point: this was intellectual property.

So in the UK when a trial is over, do the transcripts become public record?

I'll be able to get the law report from University. I'll look into transcripts.

If it's possible to get them, transcripts would be great, thanks Dark Side.

I wonder if the losing side will lodge an appeal, drawing this case out even longer?

Well today has been an even worse day for AA in court - if there is an Ace up his sleeve he needs to show it now plus another 3 :eek

He is now on the stand and his statements have been revised 5 times - with 2 days still to go :conf


The reason I became involved with this case is because with AA claiming to have sculpted the stormtrooper armour part of my history had been stolen. Now having been involved with the case I know that he has taken the credit for work done by other artists and has brought our names and reputations into disrepute.

I listened to AA's testimony for 2 long hours and was amazed by his arrogance.

I look forward to being able to reveal the details,

Brian
