WWE attorney comments on TNA using ECW theme

Newsday’s Alfonso Castillo recently contacted WWE attorney Jerry McDivitt for comment regarding TNA’s Hardcore Justice PPV this Sunday featuring an all ECW-theme.

McDivett said, “The WWE is sole owner of the ECW marks, and as with all of WWE’s intellectual property it will be vigorously protected. TNA acts at its peril if it infringers upon WWE’s rights.”

As of this week, WWE has made no attempts to get the event shut down due to copyright issues.
