The Gist:
Author, Gerald Brittle, says the movies infringe on his 1980 book, The Demonologist, which first detailed the accounts of Ed & Lorraine Warren. He claims he had exclusive rights " to create derivative works based on the Warrens' cases.".
The best part?
It's a common argument raised during copyright dust-ups involving true life tales. Here, though, Brittle's legal team says it has an ace in the hole: The Demonologist isn't historical fact because the Warrens lied about what happened in their stories.
I'll keep an eye on this one because it looks nasty.:thumbsup:
