Since the original discussion on the Encyclopedia has gotten to 50 pages I'm closing it and opening a fresh one. You'll find part one here.

Please remember our #1 rule is to be nice. Thank you in advance for the mature and well thought out discussion.

I get the impression that RDR is running a badly managed public relations campaign, not a legal campaign. That is the only thing that makes sense. Actually, it doesn't make sense for them to do it, but it would explain the strange things that keep popping up on their web site.

The problem is the bad PR and their continued gaffes make them look like rank amateurs.

I don't know how much, if any, of their website screeds could be used against them in court to show bad faith, but invoking things like the nuclear bombings and police states really don't help their side. It makes them look irrational. And they're still trying the argument that JKR and WB have abandoned their copyrights and trademarks if the website they link to is any indication. That should be interesting, especially if they actually try to argue that before the judge. doh.gif
