Anyway, they are going after some author who wrote a children's book called "Spots the Space Marine" for trademark infringement. How can it be infringement? Spots is a girl. Everyone KNOWS GW space marines can't be girls cause they have cooties or something.
If you think GW is being a bit ridiculous, find out how to help here.
I'm considering sending in a "Drop this case, or I never buy your product again" email like PopeHat suggests. I just don't feel like I should be giving these jerks my money anymore. If it's not their inferior product its their asshole corporate tactics.
Beat me too it, I read that was about to put up something about it. If I get time I'll do a post and link here too if you don't mind.
