The Asylum? Those guys make me laugh and rage all at the same time

Myself, I watched Galaxy of Terror the other day because it's on YouTube. Absolutely mental and terrible, but you kinda gotta love Corman.

Watched The Rig from 2010 about a creature running amok on an oil rig. Not sure how they were able to do this without getting noticed...

[HuDaFuK]

Probably impossible the copyright the name Weyland

[Corporal Hicks]

The logo on the other-hand?

[HuDaFuK]

Well it's just a plain W, so likewise I imagine it'd be hard to claim copyright.

[Local Trouble]

It's styled and colored exactly the same as the W in the Weyland-Yutani logo though.

[HuDaFuK]

Yeah, but it's still just a letter W.

More to the point, I've seen The Rig, and I doubt Fox cared lol.

[Local Trouble]

Wouldn't you care if your intellectual property was used without permission in someone else's blockbuster film?

[HuDaFuK]

I guess it depends where you draw the line between rip-off and homage.

I like they put this on the wall of the restroom. Employee choice no doubt.

I hate Asylum, those gits have no respect for others or any standards. They should be arrested for deception and conning, because that is how they get their money. They make the product's name and image as similar as possible in order to trick people into buying their crap. They are parasites.

[HuDaFuK]

Yeah, the laughter comes from not being able to believe they get away with something so blatant.

The rage comes from how utterly devoid of merit the shit they make is.

[The Cruentus]

I hear that they are actually from an established studio, Village I think.
There needs to more powers given to certain studios to permanently stop Asylumm ripping them off. One studio/director managed to stop them but it was temporary if I recall.

Gold. Total Gold thread.
