Exclamation Blackmask Online dying?

Quote:
At any rate, I hope as much as anyone that Blackmask will be back soon, and that the court case will go favorably for Moynihan. After all, rooting for the underdog is the national pastime. But on the other hand, Condé Nast does legally own those copyrights, regardless of whether or not they choose to make what we would consider the best use of them. Their legal position is very solid, and they have a lot of money. I hope I'm wrong, but as far as I can see Moynihan still has about a snowball's chance.
Blackmask is in court, which stinks. They provided tons of cool (though, some apparently legally questionable, but from what I understand they were merely dimestore pulp novels) books in popular formats - HTML, txt, EB1150, iSilo, etc.
