Lawsuit Claims TNT Stole Font Used for "Falling Skies"

Well, as I write under a pseudonym, I have some of the shortest copyright protection available.

Apparently, I don't count.

Meh.

In hindsight, maybe you should've written under a different pseudonym. Wouldn't want you to get mixed up with the person who wrote this:
http://www.amazon.co.uk/Space-Orbit...?s=digital-text&ie=UTF8&qid=1327703238&sr=1-3
(NSFW warning)
Oh well, what's done is done...

OMNI, a FONT, is a far cry from what you create. It is simply a style of writing. There are only so many ways you can write something. This is way overboard. How about the Horror movies that all have "Scratched" words to appear as if they were written in blood? Is that a font too?

A font is a work of art and is protected by author's rights. A font is by the way not something that can easily be created. It takes a whole lot of work and skill to get it right.

There's about a million of them out there already. How many different ways can you form a letter or number?

That has nothing to do with whether it should be protected by author's rights or not.

You can have your opinion, but there's a law for it so it doesn't really matter.

Indeed, my opinion matters little to anybody. So be it.
