To live outside the law you must be honest and have adamantium claws

At last, the law has prevailed and justice is served! Our long national nightmare is over!



I'm shocked, shocked to find that video piracy is going on in the internet! (I think it's over there in a very tiny corner, right next to the dirty photos.) Well, as I learned in " Bruce Wayne: Murderer", there's no video piracy in prison! (Also: no crying in baseball.) Pirates are, of course, a cowardly and superstitious lot (what with the Black Spots and hooks and parrots and grog), so however harsh the sentence, this guy shoulda known he'd never get away with it, thanks to those meddling mutants. After all, it's well-known, on official record, and even more important, it's canon that Wolverine does not tolerate theft of intellectual and creative property! Bub.

In order to assiduously protect his own copyright, Wolverine is now pursuing action through both legal and violent means against the University of Michigan Wolverines...



...mainly for their copying of his trademark blue-and-yellow uniform.



Not to mention tackling, in state supreme court and in dirty dark back alleys, Wolverine Boots...



...Wolverine Beer...



...the Wolverine Mutual Insurance Company...



And then he'll be targeting this guy.



Out of professional respect and concern for the safety of his own eyeballs, however, Wolverine will not be issuing legal writs or claws against this guy:



So, to sum up: always remember that Wolverine is the intellectual pirate's worst enemy.
