The Colorado Independent: Win Ben Stein’s Ethics: Lawsuit threatens Intelligent Design film

    what an absurd misuse of intellectual property ideas XVIVO are embarrassing themselves with this huge over-reach.  There is obviously nothing approaching copyright infringment in these two examples above.  They merely are different artists interpretation of a common theme.


    BTW: I tend to think that ID is a pretty much wrong, but none the less it's very weak to try to shut down debate by malicious use of copywrite law. 


    Stein seems unbowed.  The film is at my local metroplex, and Oregon is not exactly the center of the universe.  Good for him and shame on XVIVO.

    The exact reason for intellectual property law Considering the amount of time and effort it takes to render 3D animation like that, and given the choices that have to be made to produce an animation on the micro scale, it is the height of absurdity to  state "there is nothing approaching copyright infringement".


    It is absolutely clear that the dishonest producers thought they could get away with an illegal act without anyone noticing, and with their usual audience being rather overtly credulous, you can see why.


    But this time they took on an audience of very smart, very resourceful people. And they are getting hammered over it. Between the Dover case and this, their true agenda is crystal clear.
