Beckett Media sued due to copyright claim

On June 16, The Pokémon Company International filed a lawsuit against Beckett Media for both the use of Pokémon images in their magazine and the selling of individual Pokémon cards. TPCi argues that Beckett's use of Pokémon images in their magazine, Beckett Unofficial Pokémon Collector, violates the copyrights that they own. The company also claims that Beckett "receives a commission [...] from each sale transacted through the Beckett Marketplace", including selling Pokémon cards.
Beckett Media was in hot water with TPCi/PUSA both in late 2007 and mid to late 2009, when the overseas distributor told Beckett to remove any media, which did not happen in either case.
