Default peirrot the clownfish looses again
Quote:
A French children's book author who claimed Disney's Finding Nemo copied a fish of his creation has been convicted of fraud and ordered to pay damages.

Franck Le Calvez claimed that the film's title character was based on his orange and white clown fish, Pierrot.

But a French court ruled on Wednesday that Nemo had existed before Pierrot and that Le Calvez even knew of the Disney character when he created his.

He was ordered to pay 61,000 euros ($80,000, £42,000) damages and costs.
