This is like some new form of justice, where, if you hit someone with a hammer we punish the hammer?
- ceejayoz 3y agoNo; we take away your hammers. It's quite an old approach.
- ClumsyPilot 3y agoTaking away the hammer would placing the fanwork into public domain. Here, we are specifically destroying the hammer as a punishment.
- runeofdoom 3y agoIt is, for all practical purposes. The court posted the whole thing in an official document.
- ceejayoz 3y agoIt woudl be odd for the court to resolve a copyright infringement case by more copyright infringement. It's not theirs to put in the public domain; it's the Tolkien estate's IP.
- drewcoo 3y agoIt seems like you're saying "IP claims" are a hammer. So, yes, I favor destroying all hammers.
