It seems a group of perpetual virgins have trekked out (so to speak) into the sunlight and away from their parents’ basements long enough to find an ambulance chaser willing to take their case to court.
What case might that be you ask? None other than the sanctity of the Klingon language itself.
A group that goes by the name of the Language Creation Society is spearheading the suit against Paramount Pictures in federal court over its copyright of the Klingon language from the television series Star Trek. Their argument: that it’s a real language and therefore not subject to copyright…
As snickerworthy as this suit seems, the nerds are quite serious.
The suit, filed by Marc Randazza and the Language Creation Society, contends that while Paramount Pictures created Klingon, the language has “taken on a life of its own.”
Paramount has argued that Klingon is a language that is entirely fictitious and does not have a practical use.
Meanwhile, the nerds at the Language Creation Society have countered by noting that the Klingon language was used to replace the use of English or a series of “guttural sounds” in the second season…hard to imagine these people aren’t dating anyone.
So in the meantime, your tax payer dollars are processing the semantics of nerds, that want a language of gibberish conceived for entertainment purposes to be wrestled away from the intellectual property that created it in favor of them speaking it in everyday use…seems it would be easier just to invent your own gibberish…
