U.K. Judge Crushes Tim Langdell
- Thread starter Andy Chalk
- Start date
I'm still confused as to how he copyrighted words in the first place (briefly giving him a leg to stand on before the judge took a chainsaw to it). Isn't the very fact that it's impossible to copyright a word how all of the D&D satires can use the phrases 'spot check' and 'listen check' without being sued, as long as they don't explain the mechanics of the check?
Enjoyment? No.Andy Chalk said:
Resoloution and Deterrent I can be satisfied with. Take him away, jailer.
"and while I certainly won't mourn the end of his trademark trolling, I can't honestly find enjoyment in seeing a man so thoroughly and publicly humiliated and destroyed."
I can
Especially when that man is as big a prick as him

This whole article reads like a game of Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney.
"I present this disc showing that this logo clearly pre-dates any other trade mark"
OBJECTION!! "That disc was made with Windows 95! There is no way it could have been made in 1991!"
*Cut to animated Tim Landell sweating furiously*
I'm glad that he finally got his due for years of shady business practices and corporate extortion.

You know, I don't think I've ever seen anyone be so thoroughly destroyed in my entire life, real or fictional. It's actually outright impressive to see the level in which they've outright humiliated him.
Oh my god, this made me laugh harder than the article itself. Typos combined with copy and paste... I guess that's what happens you hit "post" in such a hurry.IamQ said:
Maybe he's dyslexic though, in which case, laughing at it would be kind of offensive. D:

Really? I sure as hell can. Langdell is nothing more than scum. He's a parasite trying to leech off other, far more talented people because he's incapable of producing anything of value himself. Call me mean-spirited, but he got nothing more than what he richly deserved, as far as I'm concerned.Andy Chalk said:
I'm guessing this guy will take up golfing with Jack Thompson.
You can't live on the edge forever, Tim. Eventually you've got to jump.

He actually got shut down in the states last year, the article has more details. This is just the british putting the boot in because, unfortunately, he's from our quaint little island.Nicolaus99 said:
This part made me laugh so hard, xD hehehehehe i'm still giggling xDAndy Chalk said:
OT: Never heard of the guy but he sounds like a right twat, well done to the Judge who did this.
Now...Can we aim for Bobby Kotick? I'll provide the evidence against him if someone can find me a Judge >.>
"The judge then gestured for the bailiff, extended one finger towards Langdell, and intoned, 'Kill him. Kill him slowly.'"
Well, all right, maybe not. But wouldn't that have been awesome?
So, good for you, perhaps, that you can feel pity. Myself, I'm still in "DIE, you evil ************" mode.

Maybe you're a nicer person than I am; I can hardly think of someone more deserving of exactly this kind of brick-by-brick, line-by-line exposure of exactly what kind of rotten son-of-a-***** they are. If Langdell had only scammed big guys like EA and Future, maybe one could imagine that the clever upstart had managed to put one over on the monoliths armed with nothing but wit and moxie (mind you, I'm not saying I buy that narrative a single bit). But he happily pulled his "trademark infringement" nonsense on little guys like Mobigame, sometimes multiple times. He ripped bread out of the mouths of people who were just trying to get off the ground, while not even doing the incredibly minuscule amount of work necessary to give his legal claims grounds to sit on (like, I don't know, starting work on a single game of his own?)Andy Chalk said:

I'll be honest, reading this was almost like playing Phoenix Wright, but instead we're rooting for the prosecution...
It makes you wonder how a man with such a status as having a phd (I assume he did not get a medical degree)would behave in such a way. While he completely deserves all of what is happening to him, it makes you wonder what is mentally wrong with him. To come up with all of these stories and continue to act like this, it can't be "normal".
Either this is the saddest attempt at attention ever, or he is truly disturbed.

Considering how often we hear about decent folks' misfortune in the gaming industry, hearing about some scumbag like this getting his comeuppance makes me smile. A lot.
