"I have received quite a lot of hateful messages from people who seemed elemental enough to conceive of the situation in which a large, powerful satanic organization is using its strengths to intimidate an uncertain and innocent teenage witch who has just been exposed to the vast, cruel world, "continued Greaves. "An e-mail begged me not to" ruin "a show that" just seeks to bring joy to the world ".

"When I read these things, I can not help but wonder when the last time was one of those angry commentators who had written to a public representative or addressed a matter of importance in some way whatever. Ironically, however, a lot of [sic] the messages accuse us of being indignant; some told us that they preferred us better when we focused on church and state issues. Many people seem to think that because this story has attracted such attention from the media that we too have focused disproportionately on this issue. "

The Satanic Temple is pleased to announce that the recent lawsuit against Warner Bros. and Netflix has been settled amicably. The unique elements of the statue of Baphomet satanic temple have been recognized in the credits of episodes already filmed. The remaining terms of the settlement are subject to a confidentiality agreement.

Many people immediately supported our copyright claim and felt that it was well-founded. Surprisingly, though, there was also a large number of people who flooded us with legal analysis on hate mail and wheelchairs.

I've been getting quite a lot of hate messages from people who seemed basic enough to conceive of the situation in which a large, powerful satanic organization is using its power to intimidate an uncertain and innocent teenage witch who has just been exposed to the big cruel world. An e-mail begged me not to "ruin" a show that "only tries to bring joy to the world".

When I read these things, I can not help but wonder when the last time was one where one of those angry commentators wrote to a public representative or addressed an issue of importance in any way that it would be. Ironically, however, many messages accuse us of being outraged by misplaced indignation, with some of them saying that they preferred us better when we focused on issues related to the subject. Church and the state. Many people seem to think that because this story has attracted such attention from the media that we too have focused disproportionately on this issue.

The truth is that it's a mediocre comment on the whole of our culture. To me, the media has spilled over this copyright claim, about which coverage of our rally in Arkansas, which faced unresolved issues about US devotion to democracy Liberal, received sparse reports for a day.

I especially liked the confusing assertion of people who said we were playing "victim", the alternative being that we stay silent when we think our work may have been exploited. It is also interesting to note the almost equal number of those who say that we are "like Christians" (although this is never clearly explained), as opposed to those who protest that our move here is incomprehensible because " we never see another religion get confused ". this kind of claim. "

All I can say about the case now, is what was in italics above:

The Satanic Temple is pleased to announce that the recent lawsuit against Warner Bros. and Netflix has been settled amicably. The unique elements of the statue Baphomet with Children of the satanic temple have been recognized in the credits of the episodes already filmed. The remaining terms of the settlement are subject to a confidentiality agreement,

Thus ends one of the most publicized copyright claims. The press can now stop pretending that it was unique and capital, if not interesting. So, too, hopefully ends the parade of stupidity of online legal experts.
