Important Announcement from me-DEFINITELY NO JOKE!

[Jared Steele]

Apoparently, the WWE is looking to shut down efeds, claiming copyright issues. This could be trouble for us:

www.pwtorch.com/artman/publish/article_8905.shtml

However, I thought that money must be involved for copyright infringenent to exist, none of us are making money off wOwfed, so I doubt there's anything Vince can do, but I'm still scared.

I say we don't go down without a fight, though.....if Vince wants to shut us down, I say screw Vince...this is our fight..every booker, every roleplayer, every character creator needs to be involved..only together can we beat this. (Interesting that I'm posting this rally to battle on the Fourth of July, isn't it?)

So, come on, let's keep doing what we do, and if Vince wants to shut us down, we're gonna go down swinging. What do you say, people?

Let's do like the Beatles and go out singing instead.


Seriously, if he went after efeds he'd also have to go after indy feds and their characters.

Just read that. I'm sure we'd have a case for gimmick infringement BY the WWE (Remiel/Mordecai?) in addition to the fact that almost none of our characters are WWE ones (as opposed to E=Feds where you can play as WWE stars).

I doubt they have a case.

Well, we do have a few old WWE gimmicks kicking around, but they're all no longer used by WWE anyway, so I doubt it'd be a problem for us.

Still, if WWE wants to be cocks, it can become an issue. Unless and until it does, though, I say we just stay the course.

Well, all I can say is: If they try to, bring it on for a few reasons:

1) Everyone knows that in the past year, wOwfed proper has been lower on the burner for me. Get rid of wOwfed, I'll just keep working on wOw Memorial, post it here, and keep fine-tuning the wOw characters to its eventual goal.

2) If they even TRY to go after us for copyright infringement, I'm sure all of us (combined) can find some lawyer willing to take a counter-suit- I think that we have a huge case on the following:

wOwfed gimmick/angle= WWE gimmick/angle

Remiel/Halo= Mordecai
Brett Downard/Robocrap= Eugene
Joey Hamm/Harry Potsmoker feud= Test/Chris Jericho feud
Johnny Blaze= Johnny Blaze

Feel free to add to the list, but I think it's safe to say we're in the lead on this one...
