Can't wait till the take downs and C&Ds start flying.....


I have a dream, break the chains of copy right oppression! http://zippydsmlee.wordpress.com/2010/05/21/cigital-disobedience/


Copyright infringement is nothing more than civil disobedience to a bad set of laws. Let's renegotiate them.

From who?

Re: Super Mario: BP Oil Spill Edition

BP of course.

Someone made a joke Twitter account lampooning BP and BP threatened to sue if the user wasn't banned.

Re: Super Mario: BP Oil Spill Edition

If anyone has grounds to sue it would be Nintendo. Because the artist used Nintendo's art assets without permission. But considering this is a short video combined with political commentary, it would be a pretty good case for Fair Use and I don't think Nintendo would sue over it.

Re: Super Mario: BP Oil Spill Edition

If that were the case Nintendo could sue half the internet.

Re: Super Mario: BP Oil Spill Edition

Hadn't heard about that so I can't comment but while BP could threaten to sue over this video, they really have no gounds to do so as far as I can see.

DorthLousI love how she plays the "I'm a parent, you're a gamer, you couldn't understand" card... I'm a parent and I find her position despicable...05/23/2013 - 4:16pm
E. Zachary KnightShe didn't address your questions because she doesn't have any answers.05/23/2013 - 3:38pm
Andrew EisenI replied to her comment. Maybe in a few weeks I'll get a reply.05/23/2013 - 3:24pm
Thomas Riordan@Andrew Eisen To what bowling alley does she go that puts sexual images in the faces of 6 year olds?05/23/2013 - 3:17pm
Andrew EisenWell, it took a month but Linda Stender finally replied to me... and didn't address a single one of my questions. http://aswlindastender.com/2013/04/23/follow-up-video-games-and-their-effect-on-children/05/23/2013 - 3:13pm

ImautobotSony's PS4 motto should be "We play games." Microsoft's should be "We play games, when we're not rewinding your tapes."05/23/2013 - 3:11pm

E. Zachary KnightZippy, they very well may be. But that will only last until they are released. At that time, they will be two generations behind.05/23/2013 - 11:14am

E. Zachary KnightThat is absolutely nuts there. As bad an experience XBox Indie Games was, the problems weren't with the self published side of things. Forcing a publisher onto independent studios is not going to help.05/22/2013 - 10:43am
