Dispute Over Nude Nuns Copyright Leads To Second Firm Copying First Firm's Lawsuit
from the copyright-gone-mad dept
We recently wrote about the lawsuit that was filed against 5,865 alleged downloaders of the B-movie Nude Nuns With Big Guns by Camelot Distribution Group. In many ways, the lawsuit seemed like many of the other mass infringer shakedown lawsuits... but there was one element that made it interesting. A second company, Incentive Capital, said that Camelot didn't hold the copyright in question. Basically, Camelot had borrowed money from Incentive in order to purchase the copyright to the movie in question, but failed to payback the loan and Incentive had foreclosed on the film.
Camelot continued to push forward with the lawsuit and, in an amusing twist, Incentive Capital has filed an almost identical lawsuit against the exact same 5,865 alleged downloaders:

I just got here...
I'm more than willing to get in on one of the few movies to make nearly all of its money in the courtroom rather than the theater. I can even provide various nuns and/or guns should they be needed for evidence. At least, I assume I can. If I get a school bus and some guns, the rest should all go off without a hitch.

Actually, in Israel there were several suits regarding copyright in legal documents
Under Israeli law, there were four prominent cases involved lawyers copying from other lawyers their suits. In three cases the courts ruled that the defendants violated copyright (Calderon v. Alon, Azgad v. Shpiglman and Goldhammer v. Segal) and rejected in once (Soroker-Agmon v. Artman).
The case of Artman was different as the court acknowledged that there are certain legal documents that lack originality. It was quite interesting to find out, and might be of interest here.
