Kung Fu Panda Lawsuit (and why SOPA sucks)
« on: January 19, 2012, 10:07:25 am »
I could comment much on SOPA and why it's totally wrong, but I wont as many people take a black line approach which echo's what they think is going on compared to what is "actually going on".

Having said that Terry Dunn who is a "linage holder" of many ancient arts from the East (you don't become that from being a scumbag) has been undertaking a lawsuit where he clearly is in the right..yet the very people who lobby for the likes of SOPA are denying all knowledge and using the system for their own profit.   >:(

For a start check Terry's site here called KUNGFUPANDALAWSUIT:

Who is Terry Dunn?

An amazingly accomplished Teacher and Practioner of the Inner Arts borne from the East which he preserves to teach all


 

Quote
Terry Dunn's 36 years of experience in Chinese holistic health practices includes more than 25 years in T'ai Ch'i Ch'uan, Qigong and Chinese methods of meditation, and more than 30 continuous years in three styles of Chinese boxing (kung-fu). He has studied under some of the most renowned Chinese martial art masters of the twentieth century: Master Share K. Lew of the Tao Tan Pai (Taoist Elixir Method) Kung Fu, Master Abraham Liu in Yang style T'ai Chi Ch'uan, Master Chan Ching-Kai in Yang T'ai Chi Ch'uan and Six Harmonies & Eight Methods, Master York Why Loo in Six Harmonies & Eight Methods Boxing, Grandmaster Doo Wai of the Bok Fu Pai (Ehrmei White Tiger) Kung Fu, and Master Douglas Wong of the Southern Sil Lum Five Animal Style (his first teacher). Certified in 1983, Dunn is an instructor in the Sil Lum Five Animals, Taoist Elixir Method, and "Eight Sections Combined" Kung Fu systems.

He has been teaching martial and healing arts in Los Angeles for more than 25 years, and conducts Tai Chi for Health and Qigong for Health seminars nationwide. He teaches these classical Chinese alchemic arts to help students attain health, longevity, and self-defense skills, to discover their natural healing capacity and powers, genetic talent, and spiritual potential, and to understand and apply the principles of Taoism and Chan Buddhism to attain that potential.

Terry has taught Tai Chi and Chi Kung courses at Cedars Sinai Medical Center in Los Angeles for many years, and co-wrote the first medical protocol in American medicine applying therapeutic Tai Chi and Qigong techniques to accelerate patients' recovery from surgery and other treatments. In 2000 and 2001, Terry trained the World Champion Los Angeles Lakers in Tai Chi and Kung Fu as a regular warm-up method to their training regimen. Terry is the creator of the all-time best-selling Tai Chi for Health DVD series and the six-part Chi Kung For Health series teaching the remarkable Flying Phoenix Celestial Healing Qigong.

In the area of public safety, Mr. Dunn produced in 1995 the life-saving Universal System of Arrest & Control for Law Enforcement training videos with Ron Chapel, still used by police agencies worldwide.

How is Terry Dunn opppsing against this tryanny ?



Quote
On June 1, 2010, writer-producer, Kung-fu master and Tai Chi expert Terence Dunn filed suit against Dreamworks Studios, LLC and Dreamworks Animation SKG, Inc. in Los Angeles Superior Court for breach of implied contract over DWA's release of the film Kung-fu Panda on June 8, 2008 without compensating him. Dunn claimed that in 2001 and 2002 he had pitched to Dreamworks SKG executives Lance Young and Michael Lachance his story about "a spiritually-marked Kung-Fu-fighting panda bear" named Zen-Bear who is trained by five animal friends who are Kung-Fu masters--a tiger, leopard, snake, crane and dragon--and fulfills his destiny as a martial hero/spiritual avatar (as foretold by a young tortoise sage) by saving the inhabitants of Plum Flower Village from a horde of Kung-fu-fighting animal attackers–a pack of rats, a clan of yellow monkeys, and a pack of hyenas--who are all led by the arch-villain Praying Mantis. In his Complaint, Dunn claims that "Kung fu Panda" released in June 2008 is substantially similar in all material respects to the ideas that he had presented to Dreamworks executives Lance Young and Michael Lachance from 2001 to 2002.  In August 2010, in answer to Dreamworks' written interrogatories, Dunn, based on the advice of his attorney Glen Kulik, asserted minimum damages of $20,000,000 based on their knowledge of two Kung Fu Panda films as of that time. Dunn and his attorney learned on December 10, 2010 that Dreamworks has announced five sequels to the first KF Panda film for a total of six films--one more than the defendants' Shrek franchise.  Dunn's claim for damages at trial will be expounded by his forensic economist.

Taken from Terry's website  8) 

THE FOLLOWING ARE MILESTONES IN THE DEVELOPMENT OF DUNN'S "ZEN-BEAR®" FRANCHISE THAT DREAMWORKS EXECUTIVES LANCE YOUNG AND MICHAEL LACHANCE WERE ALLEGEDLY INFORMED ABOUT UP THROUGH 2002 (WHEN COMMUNICATIONS WITH DUNN TERMINATED), WHEN THEY AND DREAMWORKS' TOP MANAGEMENT ALLEGEDLY DECIDED TO EXPLOIT DUNN'S CONCEPT AND STORY ELEMENTS BY DEVELOPING THEIR OWN KUNG-FU PANDA PROJECT WITHOUT COMPENSATING HIM:

Totally with ya BTS!

I've seen both sides of content producers or Leechers and one thing is for sure that SOPA sucks for both.

Plus Terry Dunn is a rocking dude taking it to the sysytem.  I would love if he got the settlement as we could all watch an awesome PBS series he was commisioned a SLOT WITH travelling Asia filming the Masters!  As series that would never occur through the likes of wankers employed by big film companys could ever get access to.
