Murdstone posted:Rex Morgan MD I'm by no means a Rex Morgan or legal scholar, but let me see if I have this right: The con artist is alleging a child stole his idea, and is pursuing direct legal action against the child? This seems to be a nonstarter to my layman eyes, even if a 7 year old (or however old she is) saw your idea and took it, you can't expect to argue in any meaningful way the child was aware of what they were doing and their family owes you damages. It seems to me that you'd go after the publisher or at least gin up a story that the parents convinced the kid to take some of your personal drawings to give the suit some kind of legs.

Wasn't a previous Mary Worth storyline about an abuse survivor who only left her abuser after he straight up shot at her? This seriously paints a hideous picture of Karen Moy and what her beliefs regarding abuse are

Powered Descent posted:So... they're just going to ignore forever that Mark is currently out on bail? That he has criminal charges pending against him, and a court date coming up, and possibly even restrictions on his movements or activities, and that he needs to get a drat lawyer ASAP? That dealing with court poo poo is now going to become a major focus of Mark's life, and this kind of court poo poo can potentially drag out for years?

I know civil has different standards than criminal but I still think there's not much standing here. Apparently he hasn't even filed anything so I think the point is he's trying to get a free payday. Of course, this whole situations should not have happened because Vidpa should never have read the drat story in the first place, much less published it.

I'm going to predict that Rex and/or Sarah is such a goody goody that they will offer up evidence that supports Rene's case entirely because it is wrong to hide the incredibly inconclusive sketch book with a generic sketch of a generic dog.

Why did they sign this contract, anyway? Did the Morgans at least get a lawyer to look it over? They basically had Vidpa over a barrel on this one, for precisely the thing the Art Teacher is suing them over, and he admitted to it. How did they wind up with a contract that drops the legal risk on the Morgans?

Trickjaw posted:Someone must find them amusing, They just totally confuse me. It helps A LOT that Charles Boyce appears to be a really sweet dude. So there's that morbid curiosity/WTF factor of "What am I even looking at right now," but also unironically pulling for a nice man who's trying to live his dream, or at the very least do a hobby he seems to like. Murdstone posted:I'm not a lawyer, but yes, it seems this would be easily beaten in court based almost entirely on the fact that he's a confirmed con artist and has no real evidence that it was his idea that was stolen. The only evidence he's even given is the picture of the two dogs in the story next to a picture of two dogs he says he drew, but they obviously weren't two dogs he drew way back when because they were on the same poster board as Sarah's two dogs. He hasn't even shown any of the pictures he allegedly had around the studio back then. So what I'm saying is can I go to the Rex Morgan syndicate and tell them I was a little girl drawing two dogs way back in the 80's and hold up a picture of me as a little girl in the 80's and win some kind of settlement?

i don't think you need to continue being a "true friend" to someone who continually and predictably shows that level of disregard for your feelings and concerns, actually sometimes it's healthy to not forgive people!

Just ask Ron Higgins, professional Cardinal Richelieu impersonator. Murdstone posted:I'm not a lawyer, but yes, it seems this would be easily beaten in court based almost entirely on the fact that he's a confirmed con artist and has no real evidence that it was his idea that was stolen. The sketchbook would count as real evidence, but he doesn't know the sketchbook exists. I think. Oh god, what if he saw Sarah drawing that picture in her sketchbook when she was taking lessons from him and he remembered about it when he saw the Kitty Cop book? I would say he shouldn't know about the memory loss though, but apparently random reporters knew about it so sure, why wouldn't he I guess.
