[Groop]OT: Twist Vs. McFarlane Comics

[Roland Mueller]

Hi Groop,
I can't believe that Tony Twist successfully sued Todd McFarlane of
Spawn  Image Comics.  The judge awarded twist 24 million dollars for
McFarlane's use of his name to to create a fictional gangster character
named Antonio Twisterelli.  Todd will appeal not for the money alone,
but also the principles involved.   What could this mean for the future
of all published fictional authors struggling to pick a name for their
characters?
All the best,
Roland
