As many of you know, the original creators of Star Control are in a Legal Battle with Stardock games which is trying to basically take control of the IP away from them.
Stardock is now trying to Copyright aliens that the original Star Control developers created and doing it by trying to trademark already created aliens and then releasing them as DLC for their game.
This kikery is happening in real fucking time, they can't get away with this shit.

To add, Paul and Fred (the original creators) are now trying to sue them for this. If Paul and Fred win Stardock will have to pay damages in the millions, but if Paul and Fred lose then Stardock will continue to slowly steal aliens and concepts until Paul and Fred can no longer make a sequel to Star Control 2, Ghost of the Precursors.
Here is a quick rundown of the situation for those that don't know.

Serves them right for trusting publishers. If you take money from jews, you deal with the devil.

They didn't sign anything. 28 years ago when SC1 was released it was always known that Paul and Fred owned the copyright to the content of the games. All Accolade ever owned was the right to sell games called "Star Control".

This already got dealt with a long time ago. They sold the rights to the publishers and failed to meet any quotas.

No, it was the publisher that failed to meet the Quota therefore the name "Star Control" should be Fred and Fords however Stardock is trying to not only get the name but the entire series simply because they know they can financially out muscle two guys without a corporate backing.

Anyone here understand law? Is it really that easy for a Mega corporation to just take your entire IP because they own one small part of it? This is fucking scary.

Theoretically it's illegal, but in practice all Stardock has to do is draw out the proceedings until Paul and Fred exhaust their limited legal funds.

What a shitshow. I see two wildcards here though; a) the UQM copyright situation. That could get thrown out rather easily as the video stated, but I wouldn't give it a 100% chance either. FOSS fags better back it all up and circulate the tapes. And b); getting the word out about the suit. The more people know about this, the less likely it will be for Stardock to get away with it. This is extra risky for Stardock since they've made enemies of the aGGros they are too batshit crazy to let an opportunity to take someone down they don't like get away from them.
I don't know how this is going to end up but that guy's right, it's going to be a big fucking mess.

It's a pretty simple story that happens in tech all the time. A large company steals your shit when they think you can't afford to fight them or when the risk is lower than the reward. The legal system is set up this way, it has nothing to do with justice. We need to purge the Jews.
