I just read through the entire motion. That's something I'd never recommend anyone do, and I sure didn't intend to read the whole thing but honestly, I recommend this one. It's just so brazen and cartoonishly incompetent, it's hilarious.

My favorite part is when Konami finds the counterfeits, seizes them, and sends a letter declaring the contract over... Upper Deck sends out a press release going, "Hey! We're still the official distributors!" and keeps right on selling 'em till Konami gets a court order.

Though the part where the Upper Deck guys see how janky the bootleg cards look that already went out and start screaming profanities at each other... that takes a close second. My god! These guys are also involved in like 7 other lawsuits right now, including with Aniplex. I'm gonna have to read 'em all!

I like how they fight over if Konami "hired" Upper Deck or "appointed" them LOL!! Thanks for pointing out how interesting this is. LOL...

My favorite was 'On September 18, 2007, Skrajewski emailed Upper Deck’s Chairman, Richard McWilliam, seeking approval for a deal to provide cards to Vintage "at no charge." McWilliam wrote back immediately, "I cannot believe you sent me this email."'
