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.

DorthLousActually, nop, I did miss the emoticon for some reason (getting used to pics?) and I didn't know you changed it since (since I posted previous to my shout and it was still there.) Anyhow, thanks for taking it out!05/23/2012 - 6:01pm

DorthLousWhy? Not shocked that people are barking to an additional hoop to jump through when posting from their already logged in account or just mentionning this to try to paint me as one always complaining?05/23/2012 - 4:45pm

E. Zachary KnightHow do we determine who get's the game/captcha thingy? Is there a certain posting threshhold users have to meet before it is turned off?05/23/2012 - 2:25pm
