Far from being a copyright infringement against the role playing game "Bureau 13," which wasn't even a TV entertainment program, SU2 could more likely have been considered to have been a ripoff of "Painkiller Jane," a really hot SF Channel Action Adventure show.
Agent "Painkiller Jane" Vasco, along with her covert government unit, must track down and contain the spread of "Neuros" genetically altered humans who possess extraordinary, and often deadly, neurological powers.
Detective Kate Benson, along with her covert Chicago Police Department unit, must track down and contain (or kill) "Links" genetically arrested creatures existing between pre-humans and humans who possess extraordinary, and often deadly, neurological powers.
Certainly no similarities there. Could SU2 have been a ripoff of "Painkiller Jane?" Not likely, since "Painkiller Jane" started airing 5 years after SU2.
So, could SU2 have been a ripoff of "Bureau 13"? Not likely, since it is extremely difficult to adapt a video game to the screen. The only instance I can think of where this was done successfully was Mortal Kombat.
So, what about the claim of copyright infringement against SU2? I don't buy it for a second!
