EA's Motion to be Dismissed from O'Bannon Case Denied

i fin this funny because the players int he game don't even have the right home/town's and the correct height and weights for some of these players. This law suites are for guys that are broke trying to get money.

...The 9th Circuit has a BAD track record with SCOTUS nearly 80% of their cases are reversed when taken up to the high court. Just sayin'

Heard that. Over here in the 4th Circuit we call the 9th Circuit "moon law" because most of it is bull****.

Re: EA's Motion to be Dismissed from O'Bannon Case Denied

I just read the appellate ruling. If upheld, it pretty much puts the kibosh on any future realistic college games ever. It's amazing that the exact same panel threw out Jim Brown's claims, but are upholding this one. I wonder if they will go to en banc or go straight to the SCOTUS on this one. How the SCOTUS will rule is anyone's guess. They are pretty strong on free speech and are pro business, but it seems that that the players' sob stories are affecting everyone in the legal system. If the SCOTUS denies the appeal in the fall, guess what? EA College football is pretty much done unless the NCAA changes rules on player compensation.

If this ruling is upheld, there will be a chilling effect on creativity of all types, from video games, to movies, to books to everything. These judges aren't thinking with their heads on straight.

Where did you find that opinion? Didn't know if it was published yet or if you pulled it off PACER. I'd like to read it as well. Going to check PACER for filings meow... ETA: Nevermind, it's an appellate opinion. I'll find it. I read that wrong. My bad.

Unfortunately, it corroborates with a similar 3rd circuit decision from a few months ago that pretty much ruled the same way on an identical case.
