Ayre and Bodog Reality Poker Show is Truly a Showdown


Online Casino Conditions Staff
May 2, 2006

A courtroom battle is expected to take place between Bodog CEO, Calvin Ayre, and Blue Moon Entertainment - the company that has claimed Ayre allegedly committed plagiarism by stealing their idea of a poker reality TV show.  After Blue Moon tried to stop Ayre's FOX Sports poker reality show from airing (which they failed at through their efforts at trying to obtain a court injunction), the online gambling kingpin jabbed back by saying he would file an action lawsuit and make an example of businesses who try to frivolously sue Bodog.

The reality show, which is called "Poker Showdown", has already aired on FOX, who incidentally, has now been included in the lawsuit.  Babette Pepaj - the documentary filmmaker who owns and operates Blue Moon Entertainment - was back in the courtroom clarifying her accusations against Bodog, Calvin Ayre, FOX Sports Net, Inc., and other companies, increasing by one more count of action how her company's idea was plagiarized.

According to Ayre, Bodog asked Blue Moon Entertainment to submit a proposal for a reality television show with the only guidelines being that the show involve poker and have Mr. Ayre himself appear in the action.  Ayre says that these two points are the only things in common with his show and Pepaj's proposal.  Nothing else, including the spots on the Costa Rican lifestyle, and Ayre's personal lifestyle, were not in the proposal.  This is precisely why Ayre has filed a countersuit.

As for Pepaj's lawyers, they have created a comparative table in their newly written accusation, which permits the media to publicly divulge and report everything regarding the complaint, including details on the case as it unfolds, which it is most definitely just beginning to do.
