Lawsuit against EA/NCAA over player likeness

[SCClassof93]

I've been saying from the beginning EA would have to have the SCOTUS save their bacon. There is a reason allot of big lawsuits are filed out in California. The trial judges are generally VERY liberal and the 9th Cir. is VERY liberal so your only hope as a Corporate Defendant is SCOTUS.

You know we agree on most issues and I agree here about the 9th circuit. However, ideology is not driving this case, money is......here is a quote from cdj's article.

The case's potential ramifications prompted the filing of friend-of-the-court arguments with the 9th Circuit in favor of EA's position by entities and companies ranging from the Motion Picture Association of America, ESPN, the Comic Book Legal Defense Fund and publishing interests including the Gannett Co., the parent of USA TODAY Sports. Lining up on Keller's side were, among others, the players' unions of every major North American pro sports league, the Screen Actors Guild and the corporation that controls rights held by the late Bob Marley.

I know for a fact that the CBLDF are some of the most liberal loons out there. Gannett is almost as bad. Motion Picture Association is no bastion of conservative or Libertarian principles either. These are all liberal groups. On the other stand, ideologically, "unions", whether the individuals in them are liberal or not are libera. Unions and Hollywood screen actors on the other side, nuff said.

I do agree if the Court even agrees to hear this we may have a 5-4 decision and it will most likely split the liberal faction.
