Well let's not forget the original and root benefit if they win which is lots and lots of money! I believe it is US$62 million which for me is ridiculous but let's see where it goes. Also, keep in mind that the underlying question here is whether retailers are being used to 'advertise' Games Workshop products without the retailers being given a chance to actually sell Games Workshop products.

JB,

I understand retailers being used to 'advertise' Games Workshop products without the retailers being given a chance to actually sell Games Workshop products. Now that makes sense to me. But does that constitute a monopoly? Maybe they should be sued for unethical business practices. I don't see the connection to a monopoly. That said, that is serious cash.

Not my lawsuit, but yes according to the plaintiff because as I said earlier you are teasing retailers by offering them some of the prospects of making money but really you are taking their customers to ensure you get all the money for yourself. That old adage, "You want to make the cake and to eat it too" probably applies in the mind of the plaintiff and again it is before the court now, so let's see. Plus, you have to admit, there is no where like the USA when it comes to surprising outcomes in court. A lawsuit like that in my own country would probably get a laugh and then be thrown out.

JB,

You are so very right regarding the dismal state of affairs regarding lawsuits in this country. It's like the lady who put a cup of hot McDonald's coffee between her legs and then was surprised when she hit breaks. The coffee spilled, she got burned and she sued McDonald's for her own stupidity and won. Only in NY State. Now, I get luke warm coffee because of that and McDonald's fear that they'll get sued again. We are sue crazy society and we don't care about personal accountability… that is a dangerous combination.
