Friday afternoon in a North Carolina district court, Simon Kalis filed a lawsuit on behalf of REBEL Pro Wrestling against the President of the Pioneer Wrestling Association, Rob Robinson as well as Matt Stone, naming both individuals as well as the PWA itself in a copyright infringement case. Simon Kalis cites the unauthorized use of the old
REBEL Pro World Heavyweight Championship, which was never returned upon Matt Stone’s termination from the company although it is company property. While Simon Kalis would not elaborate on the details of the lawsuit, he did formally state that “Copyright infringement is the unauthorized use of works under copyright, infringing the copyright holder’s “exclusive rights”, such as the right to reproduce, distribute, display or perform the copyrighted work, spread the information contained within copyrighted works, or to make derivative works. It often refers to copying “intellectual property” without written permission from the copyright holder, which is typically a publisher or other
business representing or assigned by
the work’s creator.” He emphasized the word display on purpose, we imagine, to show the basis for this lawsuit.
