Kick in the head

David Nieporent brings our attention to Overlawyered: “The Microsoft of kickball”:

The complaint accuses DCKickball founder Carter Rabasa of copyright infringement for unauthorized use of WAKA’s co-ed kickball rules, including “the clearly unique requirement that there be 4 men AND 4 women at a minimum to play” and for mandating that “players must be at least 21 years old.” No other specific rules or intellectual-property thefts are mentioned, but the suit points out that David Fischer, a volunteer director for DCKickball, was previously a player for the WAKA team “Scoregasm.”

As David points out, this is really stupid.  But yes, there is kickball for grownups, David.  You got a problem with that?
