Reply To: GW Takes Ghamak To Court!

@limburger if someone else sells printed versions of his models as official 40k models then that someone else would be guilty, not Ghamak.  But GW aren’t taking someone else to court, they’re taking Ghamak to court and, at the moment at least,  it isn’t entirely clear what the nature of the lawsuit is.  We know what Ghamak has said, but we should not necessarily take him at his word as he has a vested interest in making himself look like the victim.  I am not saying he isn’t the victim,  I am saying that we don’t know one way or the other at this point.  He says he is being taken to court for “unfair competition” for selling models that are compatible with 40k.  However I haven’t seen anything that would indicate this is a valid claim under Italian law.  However Italian Unfair Competition law DOES have a section regarding product immitation, and I think it definitely fair to say Ghamak’s products immitate, to a large degree, GW’s products.  So at this stage, what Ghamak is saying seems to be a little far fetched for my liking and I would rather see the actual wording on the claim, rather than believing Ghamak outright.
