Super Fired

This article features news of DC's legal counsel being fired during the latest Seigel family lawsuit against DC. The copyright and trademark of the first official superhero, Superman, is being fought over. I believe this change of lawyers is a intimidation tactic, which hopefully will stop the Seigel family from continually going after the copyright and trademark of Superman, even after the Seigels have repeatedly settled. If this were the Seigel family's first lawsuit against DC I might be inclined to side with them, but the fact is that this is just the latest. Even if the Seigel family wins half the Copyright and even Half the trademark they still will lose. The reason they would lose is Superman is entrenched so completely in the DC universe that the mere idea of him at another company just doesn't work. Another reason is that AOL Time Warner would still own half the copyright and half the trademark, so it would be their character still but making half the money they make now.
