Satanic Temple May Sue 'Sabrina'!

Sabrina Netflix Satanic Temple

Sabrina Spellman faces off against the forces of darkness on the reg, but she may soon have to deal with something scarier: lawyers.
The Satanic Temple have begun legal action against Netflix over The Chilling Adventures of Sabrina and its alleged copyright infringement — and it looks like they really have a case!
For those who haven’t seen the dark new take, Sabrina attends a school for witches and warlocks called The Academy of the Unseen Arts (Hogwarts was taken).

In the main hall of the school stands a statue dedicated to the Dark Lord — and Satanic Temple co-founder Lucien Greaves says it’s an exact copy of their copyrighted Baphomet statue.
Here are the two monuments — first, on the show:

And the one in the Satanic Temple:


OK, yeah. That looks exactly the same.
The fact it’s a work of art copied exactly without permission DOES make their case seem legit.
But those who think they’re after a quick buck need to think again. Greaves told SFGate:

“I want them to take it out. It looks like it’s a CGI facsimile to begin with. I don’t know how much work that takes, but I simply refuse to have our monument used in this way in perpetuity. I don’t want our monument to be associated with this.”

The Temple has already sent Netflix a letter demanding they remove the images.
He also tweeted out to his followers:


Interesting points.
Whether you agree with that sentiment or not, it seems like they totally have a copyright infringement case. And Sabrina has a problem.
