Reply To: GW Takes Ghamak To Court!

@onlyonepinman I was under the impression he was being sued in Italy, but Europe can be tied together legally in ways that is foreign to the rest of the world. If GW tried to sue me over what I sold on MMF in the UK, when I’m a citizen of the United States, they would just be wasting their time, I don’t have to abide by the UK’s laws even if I’m selling on MMF. Which I know I have talked online to Europeans who thought people in the US would, which an is insane thing to think, but I take it the EU, and maybe the UK even as a former EU member, has some different situations set up across borders.

So that’s why this whole situation is pretty up in the air to me. Precedent doesn’t work from one nation to another for at least the vast majority of the world, so if GW sues him in Italy or the UK for some kind of strange ‘unfair competition’ laws, well that won’t even translate to most other nations as a law because they don’t have a similar statute. So somebody could buy out Ghamak’s range and sell it in their own country, including the United States, and as long as they have deep enough pockets to hire a basic lawyer to smack down any nuisance threats, there’s not much GW can do unless they want to try a Chapterhouse 2.0, which will probably end up vastly less successful than the first, and the first was pretty bad for them. We’re working with very few details right now.
