Underworld Update

Remember that Underworld movie I mentioned? Well, White Wolf (publisher of the Vampire: The Masquerade and other PRGs) is suing Sony over the movie, claiming it rips off their universe. White Wolf has identified 61 common points between the two works. In particular, they claim that Underworld rips off a short story set in the While Wolf universe called "The Love of Monsters". I've actually read that short story (my friend Justin is into Vampire and he has the book). It's pretty decent, if gothic horror is your sort of thing.

Is White Wolf right? Maybe, maybe not. I doubt the similarities are entirely coincidental, but should White Wolf have a monopoly on vampires versus werewolves?
