why MXC sued Wipeout for all their profits
The case of: Tokyo Broadcasting System, Inc. v. American Broadcasting Companies, Inc. | MXC v. Wipeout | Case No. 6V08-06550
In 2008, ABC’s hit competition show Wipeout made a splash—but it also made waves in the legal world. Tokyo Broadcasting System (TBS) quickly filed a lawsuit, claiming ABC blatantly copied elements from their shows, particularly MXC and Ninja Warrior. TBS argued that Wipeout ripped off not just the format, but the tone, narration, specific obstacles, and even the overall vibe of their beloved shows.
In this video, we’ll break down seven major copyright infringement allegations made by TBS, looking at obstacles like Poles Apart, Block Run, and the Rotating Surfboard challenge. Did Wipeout steal these ideas outright, or was it all just inspiration? We’ll compare side-by-side footage of each challenge and explain exactly what TBS accused ABC of copying.
But that's not all—TBS didn’t stop there. We’ll also explore their broader claims, like Wipeout copying Takeshi’s Castle’s iconic slides and swing challenges. Then, we’ll dive into how ABC and its production company, Endemol, fought back, claiming Wipeout was merely part of a long-standing genre of obstacle course shows and couldn’t be considered copyright infringement.
We’ll look at the court’s ruling, why TBS ultimately settled the case in 2011, and how Wipeout continued to thrive despite the legal battle. Plus, we'll discuss how TBS tried to revive the show in 2021—only for it to face a quick cancellation in 2025.
By the end of the video, you’ll have a clear understanding of whether TBS’ lawsuit was a legitimate claim of theft or just a network trying to protect its brand. Was Wipeout a direct knockoff? Or did TBS have trouble proving its case? And what does this legal drama say about the fine line between inspiration and infringement in the entertainment industry?
Make sure to watch until the end because we’ll also touch on another insane legal battle involving a famous show that you won’t believe!
