Infringing a developer’s copyright is not an
acceptable practice
in game development. By calling Zynga
out on this illegal practice, we hope to
have a secondary
effect of protecting the rights of other creative studios
who
don’t have the resources to protect themselves.”
Well
there you go - EA is doing this out of the kindness
of their hearts, for
altruistic reasons. They cannot be
faulted.
While I have no experience
in the games in conflict, I
would bet that all Zanga's art is original. It
seems to me
that they are only guilty of indulging in the genre. EA
cannot
copyright a genre - the idea of the game. It can only
copyright the game assets
such as the artwork, music and
text. I think they are overstepping. [ Reply to This | Parent | # ]

The astroturfers will be all over this
story, and yes sadly there's a load of fault by Mat. Not for choosing Apple, but
for loading so much in one boat. My tinfoil hat is a size too small, which is
why my phone runs a different OS from
my Netbook, which is different from my
Desktop. And my ISP is not my phone company.
Gizmodo's tip for an
unpluggable drive that hides in the closet must have come from watching me. But
they didn't
watch closely. Once a month (not often enough?) it gets swapped
with one hidden in a family member's house across
town. I also have this
terrible nagging fear about the wisdom or otherwise of the Dark Lords of
Cupertino and Mountain
View who deem one password enough for all their
services.

Does anyone know what happened at Knight Capital Group?
What was the "glitch"?
Or, do they not know?
Windows, Linux, or Unix system?

Just found this review of the galaxy s3.
He makes a couple of
subtle jabs at the whole stolen product
line against apple. Makes for a good
read.

PJ commented: "If industry had created [the Internet], it would have
patented it up the kazoo"
Not only that, but it would have been Pay2Play from day one, as the Return of
Investment would have been priorities 1, 2, and 3.
Very few in industry can see the value of providing something for free for
everyone to benefit from; it's contrary to their anti-social instinct of
grabbing as much for themselves as they can as fast as they can.
The public sector serves everyone while the private sector serves itself.[ Reply to This | Parent | # ]
