Activision Sued Over Alleged Copyright Infringement for Modern Warfare and Warzone’s Mara Character



Activision is the latest massive company being hit with accusations of a stolen character. A recently filed lawsuit alleges that Call of Duty: Modern Warfare and Warzone?s Mara operator is a blatant copy of an original character called ?Cade Janus,? who was created and copyrighted by Clayton Haugen as part of his story, November Renaissance.
The lawsuit outlines the timeline for the complaint, saying that Haugen hired actress, cosplayer, and twitch streamer Alex Zedra to portray his original character, Cade Janus, in a series of photographs that would accompany his story as a pitch to various film studios. The photographs of Zedra as Janus were also used on Instagram and a series of calendars.
