Schwarzenegger will sue a Russian startup over the "Perm Terminator"
Arnold Schwarzenegger decided to sue the Perm startup Promobot, specializing in the development and production of anthropomorphic robots. Arnie brought out a new product of Perm designers, which was called Android Robo-C. The main feature of this device was not its unique capabilities, but the appearance and voice of the American action star.
Schwarzenegger's lawyers said that their client did not give Perm developers consent to use his image. In this regard, the actor wants to receive compensation from the company in the amount of $ 10 million, as well as the profit received from the public demonstration of the robot. In addition, Arnie demands to stop using his image in any form.
Alexey Yuzhakov, chairman of the Board of Directors of Promobot, told about the meeting with the Hollywood star on Facebook:
But as it turned out, Schwarzenegger's reaction to his copy made in Penza is not as rosy as the businessman described. The journalists turned to Promobot for comments, but they replied that no lawsuits had been filed against them and they also learned about Schwarzenegger's statement from the press. Despite this, the developers reported that they plan to destroy Android Robo-C so as not to upset anyone and not create problems for themselves.
The Terminator killer robot is the most famous movie image of Arnold Schwarzenegger, which is incredibly popular all over the world. It becomes more and more difficult for Arnold to make sure that someone does not violate copyrights and does not take advantage of the success of this hero every year.
