Re: DN loses respect for Raymer

I think your understanding of the law is very poor. There is no way that WPT can market a videogame of 'HU against Raymer' without Raymer's explicit permission (and profit sharing). The agreement they signed merely allowed WPT to use snippets of these guys during the tournament to advertise their program, much as they do now.
I don't know too much about this lawsuit, but the release they're asked to sign is actually pretty standard in many areas. And in no way does such a release give carte-blank permission for the other party to exploit your image in some unrelated product.
I'm no lawyer but I think I know American law well enough to know the example you posed as being just silly.

You get owned in so many ways in previous posts, making the point I was going to make...so I'll only sit here and lolomgroflz.
