Summit Entertainment is suing the owner/operator of twilight.com, claiming the primitive fan merchandise site violates its copyright.
Summit claims that Tom Markson is illegally using “Twilight” trademarks and copyrights “and leading consumers to believe that they had reached the official ‘Twilight’ motion picture website.’”
It’s a fairly unimpressive-looking website that mostly links to Twilight merchandise on Amazon.com.
But Summit doesn’t want consumers to go to the site, thinking they’ve arrived at something sanctioned by the producers. (The official “Twilight” website, incidentally, is www.breakingdawn-themovie.com)
In its lawsuit, Summit complains that Markson’s site includes copyrighted material that Summit owns, and claims that Markson profits off of it.
