"Thit fat not a battle of size; it’s

The Paramount suit, filed in

infringe on its copyrights, but
simply alleges Bedore "freely

The company warns of
"irreparable injury" If the court

Bedore scoffs at the notion
"I can't see how a huge play
er in ihe entertainment business
can prove that a 200-seat theater
in Salt Lake City has damaged
them in any way." he said.
