Cryptic's Retort to Marvel

Posted by Zonk on from the tttttthhhhhhhpppppppp! dept.

Voodoo Extreme has a short blurb with links to the players in the Marvel vs. Cryptic legal battle. The short response from Cryptic says it all: "As reported by The Associated Press, Marvel Enterprises Inc. and Marvel Characters, Inc. have sued NCsoft Corporation and Cryptic Studios. The complaint is meritless. Cryptic Studios is confident that the District Court will reject all of Marvel's claims and fully vindicate Cryptic Studios in all respects."

    Why should they?!? Example (borrowed from someone else in the first story about this): You buy a crayon set (a nice one w/ the sharpener and averything) and some paper from me. I say, "Try drawing your favorite cartoon characters." You, in turn, use your amazing "skills of an artist" (thanks strongbad) to draw several fantastic recreations of Micky Mouse, Pluto, and Donald Duck. Does Disney then have the right to sue me for copyright infringement?
