    [Music] Martyn Ware (Heaven 17) v Rockstar (Grand Theft Auto)

    And the value he has for it doesn’t align with the value Rockstar have for it. As we have seen with the Albion, the market dictates the price and if you don’t want to sell, you don’t have to. That’s where you say no thanks as he has. Fair play. I just can’t see how it’s justified to then say...
