ORB UNION SUED FOR PATENT AND COPYRIGHT INFRINGMENT
January, 2007.

Jaburo, Brazil - A second round of initial deliberation continued last Friday in the Earth Federation Forces Vs. The Orb Union in regards to claims that the Orb Union violated inter-dimensional copyright law and plain common sense by allowing their Heliopolis based development division to abbreviate each of their prototype mobile suit platforms G.U.N.D.A.M. In the first day of open court, the EFF provided to the court documented accounts of all developments of Project V, including but not limited to documents stolen from then rival Principality of Zeon. While the honorable Judge Quattro Bajeena frowned on using stolen materials as evidence, he agreed to accept it as testimony on the condition that the EFF appear in a future court proceeding to resolve another open case, the people vs. Project V. The EFF agreed to this, but were overheard swearing under their breath.
Within the first 20 minutes of open testimony, Cagalli Yula Athha, current chair of the Orb Union parliament made no less than 10 iterations of the words "But" and "What?" followed by randomly shouting of the names "Kira" and "Athrun" on numerous occasions. Unfortunately, because of her very limited vocabulary, the Orb Union was unable to present any direct evidence against the EFF's claims.
However, before the EFF could ask any further questions of Athha, One of the aforementioned copyright infringements, the X20A Strike Freedom Gundam, arrived, smashed open the building, grabbed Athha, and flew off. Local security forces gave chase but quickly had their heads, weapons and legs blown off. Said security were on foot.
In light of this new series of events, Judge Bajeena choose to postpone further proceedings until such time as Athha manages to walk back to the courthouse, estimated at this time as being anywhere from three to six months.
In a related case, Amuro Ray, ace pilot of both the EFF and Londo Bell, has sued Athrun Zala, a former ZAFT ace, for copyright infringement of his Haro PRA (Personal Robotic Assistant), as well as pirating said technology to be sold in mass quantities. More details in our Saturday edition.
