LOS ANGELES ? Evil Angel?s federal copyright and piracy case against Canada-based Kaytel Video Distribution has moved forward to a jury trial after Evil Angel rejected a final settlement offer.
Kaytel proffered a final offer to settle out of court and avoid a trial July 24, which Evil Angel rejected. Following the rejection, a jury was empanelled and the trial commenced on July 26.
?The numbers came close, but ultimately we rejected their offer,? Evil Angel General Manager Chris Norman told XBIZ. ?We felt we were well positioned for a trial, so everyone went back to their corners to get ready for litigation.?
Evil Angel finishes arguments Thursday and then Kaytel has four days to counter. Norman expects jury deliberations to begin Aug. 9.
?For all intents and purposes, things appear to be going our way at the moment,? Norman said. ?It?s early yet, but the case is in the hands of a judge and jury now. We feel a lot more comfortable now than we were going into it. We thought we?d be singled out as an adult
