Wizards of the Coast Sues Rumor Site

Posted by Zonk on Friday January 20, 2006 @07:27AM from the they-were-doing-so-well-there-for-a-while dept.

foo fighter writes "Wizards of the Coast is suing the owner of MTG Salvation, a site that posts rumors and spoilers about upcoming releases of Magic: the Gathering.

Do these kind of lawsuits damage the companies initiating them more than they help?"
