Wow!!! YES Totally a copy (check it out), and compared with the above music case, this case looks to me as MORE than just unconscious copy. The similarities between the picture drawn by Lebbeus Woods and the chair in 12 Monkeys go right to the fine detail - most notably the chair itself - its form, colour and detail and its positioning in the room on a vertical rail, the structure of the room and the qualities of the materials from which the floor and walls appear to be made (for details, go to the above link).
I had never know of this case and to think that it was ruled by the judge that this was indeed a copyright infringement and that Universal Studios would have to pull the movie and remove these chair scenes, that's HUGE!!! I think Lebbeus Woods was most within rights and reason to have pursued this case and correctly won. It was pretty big of him to see the lighter side and take a settlement instead!!! (Wow, I hope some big corporate copies me - so I can generously take a settlement payment!!!).
So, what copyright infringement happened with Devil's Advocate?
