Valve Wins Summary Judgment Motions in Copyright Infringeme

Featured Replies

Man, I bet the lawyers got a butt-load of money from that one. God, I wish I was a corporate lawyer.
I was reading through that brief and it is not in full by far. It looks like they launched a counter-claim against not only Valve, Inc but also Gabe Newell and his wife as idividuals and another guys and his wife. I thought that was VERY interesting. Funny they did not show all the filing. I would like to look that up.
Ok since I don't understand the language "Lawyer", can someone explain to me who took who to court and why?

I second that...

Well Valve took Vevindi to court basically over some type of copyright issues. Vevendi basically said no we didnt...they entered a counter-claim against Valve and some people involved with valve.

 

As far as the summary judgement the best way I can explain that without being a lawyer is one side can request a judgement on the facts based on the clain and couter claim itself without any testimony. The judge if he feels there is enought facts agreed to by both parties he can offer a full ruling but usually only rules in part of the case. The other points of the case will be disputed by proof offered in court.

 

You ask state how the hell you know this? You do not do civil law...you are right!

 

But after you are involved in a federal law suite for being involved in a shooting you learn quickly!

 

Each of the Agents involved in our case has 1 or more lawyers...I have 4 :p I just stand behind the really hot one saying wow.gif

and yes she looks REAL good...thank god the judge is a guy!

 

Anyway..they have ask for a summary judgement in our case and ask it be dismissed based on immunities give to certain government agents when using deadly force.

 

but thats another story......... :p

So, in short we are still going to get kicked from games for no reason but lack of attention to detail on Steams part.
im pretty sure this is about sierra/VUG giving valve games to cyber cafes (without valves program) without their permission. also blaming VUG for the huge CZ delays.
