It seems pretty clear that they have no right to prohibit reselling. He was being sued on trademark grounds. Personally, I think it is likely he would have won, but he could not afford the legal costs to fight it. He never really made money on the project.
- jandrese 9y agoHe had already won the first round in court. He didn't run out of money until the first appeal.
- goodcanadian 9y agoHe won an early motion to dismiss. When that dismissal was overturned, it meant that it was going to go to trial. That was what he could not afford.
- ubernostrum 9y agoThe court granted a motion on a technical issue of jurisdiction, and an appeals court overturned that decision and sent it back to the original court. That is very different from "he won the first round".
