"On top of the demand for financial compensation, Ms Juracek is demanding that Capcom "destroy each and every copy of all games" and other products using her images."

You did indeed stab me in the back. However, you are only level one, whilst I am level 50. That means I should remain uninjured.

They'll have to pry my multiple Resident Evil 4 copies from my cold dead hands.

I kind of doubt Capcom outright stole these themselves, if I had to guess the library these were sourced from would be the real issue.

Still:

Yeah, definitely looks like they used them. Theyll likely give her a nice settlement paycheck, but fat chance she gets them to destroy every copy lol

I mean, the point is that she's aiming for a ridiculously high settlement by saying "I want you guys to stop selling this shit immediately" in a more dramatic way.

Cause obviously they'll want to keep selling it.

I thought this would be about the monster designs from RE8.
This actually seems to be a legit case.

I assume its only in regard to Capcom's present inventory. Obviously they have no control over products that have been sold.
I looks these games are all 15+ years old, so I doubt there's much to pull from shelves. Maybe some HD remasters on PSN or something, if they still use the copyrighted art

More reason to get hopping on that RE4 remake to erase the infringements

This is the dumbest thing.

Copyright laws need to be completely jettisoned and then rewritten from the ground up, I stg.

What kind of rewriting of copyright laws are you proposing that would make it okay to steal somebody's work and profit off of it

I'm confused why in this case you appear to want copyright laws to be rewritten in a way that'd help the big greedy corporation and say "fuck you" to the little guy
