This is a BS suit. Hummers are military vehicles and CoD is telling a realistic and contemporary story that includes these vehicles. It’s like Coors suing if a character drinks one, or a clothing manufacturer who made the uniforms suing may be a a better example.

Couldn’t disagree more about Rome 2. I view it as the best release in the entire franchise.

I know that automatic transmissions / DCT are basically better in every way for car performance, but...I want the 3rd pedal. I feel like a race car driver with a 3rd pedal. I feel like a soccer mom when a computer shifts for me

Et tu, Spacey?

I practiced criminal defense for years and that is some weak-sauce bullshit. Never in the history of all mankind has a person who could afford a real lawyer been convicted of a drug crime for having traces of “narcotics”, whatever that means, detected on a personal item. Either you possess the shit or you don’t. And…

There were some astoundingly good episodes. Ricklantis was fabulous. The wasteland episode was amazing too. I think the show is in good shape.

I’ve got the ‘17 CTR #00513, in black. I have not been so enamored with a car ever before. I live in Oregon and drive up the Gorge from Portland out to Walla Walla, which is an amazing drive. And, like the author says, when the CTR is in its power-band, it’s amazing. You step on the gas in 5th gear at 2500 RPMs and…

To provide some context for the video, that guy’s ship is one of the best you can buy in the game, and it was shredded like tissue paper.

Man she looks fucking stupid

I cannot fathom how someone reading a games website does not know what AFK means. Especially the olds! Come on guys!

This car is 8 seconds slower around the ring than my CTR! Suck it, Bavaria!

That’s actually not true. A critical element of the analysis concerns the effect of the use on the market for the original work. LPs are in the unique position of actually helping the original work sell more copies. Of course, it depends on the nature of the use. Like I said, a match of Overwatch is way different than…

I think that these LP videos represent a new form of art and commentary that requires an updated legal framework. It seems fundamentally unfair to me that a company can knowingly profit for years from the free promotion offered by Let’s Players, only to selectively enforce an IP claim when they don’t like the tone or…

You can’t even use the correct form of “you’re”, so you’ll excuse me for not placing a high value on your opinion

I mean that a lot of devs expressly waive their rights. But even without that express statement, if you Do it enough, tolerate it enough, then you get into a real question about implied waiver. Like I said, I wouldn’t be surprised to see this as a legal theory that holds water.

Well, that’s what I was hinting at with the concept of “waiver”. If you let all of these other folks do it but not one you just don’t like, it seems to me that you have waived your rights to sue over this. This is why companies like Pepsi _hate_ when you call it Coke, and when Xerox says you can’t Xerox a Xerox. This…

I’m an attorney with a background in IP and I’m also a professional game developer. I strongly disagree with Campo Santo’s misuse of the DMCA process here. Whether a LP video constitutes fair use depends on that specific video; like the attorneys above said, you have to analyze how much was added to the work in the LP…

There’s some incredible irony going around these here parts. N-bombs are hateful words. You shouldn’t say it because of its terrible history and how it makes people feel.

Chess is a multi-player only map. Get fucked, second millennium

I mean...he DID open his church, and he doesn’t seem to be doing anything wrong. I think the fact that they were a little slow on the uptake is nothing to be mad about. They’re providing free food and shelter to those in need. Give ‘em a break.
