Wii is not letting Wee World off the hook |
Ó
Last November, Wee World filed a copyright lawsuit case against Wii last november when Nintendo launched the Wii Mii concept on their console. According to Wee World, the Wii Mii was a concept stolen from their avatar program called Wee Mee. Wee Mee, much like the Wii Mii (getting tongue tied and confused already ) is an avatar making program for AOL users and even for DS and Xbox360 users. Now, WeeWorld is saying that Ninty has stolen their name. On the other hand, Ninty says that the wordplay on "we" and "me" is fair use.
The battle for the rightful pun of "We Me" has come to stop as WeeWorld has dropped charges against Nintendo, leaving the case open, without prejudice and subject for future litigation. Wee World wants to see how Wii Mii plays first and how it would affect Wee Mee's market.
On the other hand, Nintendo charged Wee World and asked them to pay over $400,000 dollars for all the litigation costs that they spent on this legal battle. Ninty also insists that the case should dropped with prejudice since people can easily distinguish the difference between the two brands and in no way is Wii Mii's market the same as Wee Mee's market.
Well, I'd say the best solution is for Ninty to call on their best defense attorneys (Phoenix Wright or Mia Fey, perhaps?) and get this legal battle over and done with. We wouldn't want to be hearing "Objection!" while surfing our Wii Channel.

hahahaha lmao rofl and aol sucks!!!
Avatar programs and the likes aren't exactly original... I think Mr. Potato Head was the first :)... I hate it when a company believe they can really "own" a concept now a day.. failing to see that what ever concept they use were used way before they bothered.. they might have made 'changes' .. but the concept is still the same.
You also had to "pay for it" (obviously WeeMee's creators never thought about the print screen key) and it was *****.
the We Me art looks like a South park ripoff hahaha
I agree Yahoo is way better. On the subjuct of this though...Wee Mee is just looking for a fight if you ask Mii. I think that Ninty has their own ideas and they are origional, they dont copy like Sony does
(Wii, GC, N64, GBASP, GBA, GBC, etc.)
(PC, Xbox, Xbox360, etc.)
(PS1, PS2, PS3, etc.)
Now this subject is probably closed, but these are only the facts...Wii is best...get over it.
