WWE responds to Gilbert lawsuit

[LionDen]

WWE issued the following statement regarding the lawsuit filed against them by the Gilbert family in relation to WWE usage of material featuring Doug Gilbert and the late Eddie Gilbert:

"Through the years, WWE has acquired the legal rights to library footage of various former wrestling organizations including Extreme Championship Wrestling (ECW), World Championship Wrestling (WCW) and Mid-Southern Wrestling among many others. WWE has made these substantial investments to acquire these copyrighted works and has the legal right to use them. Similar cases in the past have been unsuccessful and we expect this case to be dismissed."

What do these people think? Just because you are family of a wrestler, alive or dead, doesn't mean you can sue when the owner of the footage decides to use it. This footage belonged to the promotion they wrestled in until the WWE purchased it. Seems like a cheap attempt at a cash grab, to me.
