ADV Sues GAINAX for Live Action Movie Rights

[SEELE-01]

To think that while they battle for "rights" most otakus watch fansubs...

Or is this all part of ADV's obligations to try and recover as much money for their creditors as possible?

Yeah, that'll get them their money. Attorney billable hours.

I got no idea what contract specifics are involved, but ADV's claims are the kind of reactionary bullshit posturing you get from a counterclaimant looking for a small settlement so all parties walk away.

Anime localization industry seems to just be a natural monopoly/oligarchy. Wouldn't be too surprised if ADV's claims don't survive summary judgement.
