So Tony Twist who is hands down the worse hockey player to ever make it to the NHL, couldn't make money by suckin on the ice, so he made it the old fashion way? By suing someone! BLAH! Obviously, the jury does not understand the concept of Fair Use clauses in US Copyright law.

Couldn't happen to a nicer guy (McFarlane) if you asked me. He tried to rip off Neil Gaiman and Alan Moore, and lost. Sounds to me like Toddy should learn to keep his effing ego in check because he is getting spanked in the courts.

I'm torn here too.

Twist is/was a thug, a poor excuse for a player, and a blight on the game...  A McSorely without the ability for a BS goal every now and then either.  A greater bonehead, I can't think of.

That said, McFarlane's a total sopping wet pile of douche himself.  It's a real tough choice who to hate more.

Sure, McFarlane is a bit of a spoiled brat, but awarding Twist $15 mil is a crock of ****.  Simple as that.  How this case wasn't laughed out of court by the judge is beyond me.   >:(

He'll never see the money because McFarlane filed for Chapter 11. Twist won't get his payday, but McFarlane will have to operate his business under strict guidelines. It's a lose/lose situation.
