WWE RESPONDS TO THE GILBERT FAMILY LAWSUIT

WWE issued the following statement to PWInsider.com regarding the lawsuit filed against them by the Gilbert family in relation to WWE usage of material featuring Doug Gilbert and the late Eddie Gilbert:

"Through the years, WWE has acquired the legal rights to library footage of various former wrestling organizations including Extreme Championship Wrestling (ECW), World Championship Wrestling (WCW) and Mid-Southern Wrestling among many others. WWE has made these substantial investments to acquire these copyrighted works and has the legal right to use them. Similar cases in the past have been unsuccessful and we expect this case to be dismissed."
