IDSA Changes Name To ESA

Posted by simoniker on Monday July 21, 2003 @05:21AM from the artist-formerly-known-as dept.

Thanks to Gamers.com for their article pointing out that the IDSA (International Digital Software Association) has changed its name to the ESA (Entertainment Software Association). The article indicates that "The former IDSA's updated title does not in any way alter the organization's mission of representing and serving the needs of video game publishers in North America", and it's likely the organization will continue with both aggressive games-as-free-speech lobbying and similarly aggressive copyright enforcement. There's a new official ESA site, which, it must be noted, has absolutely nothing to do with launching rockets.

Somebody realized that "digital software" is a tautology.

So, are we for them or against them then?

Just when I had a couple of rolls of toilet paper custom-printed with "IDSA", they change their name...

The QRTSM has renamed themselves to IBJSE.

Slow news day, heh?

Is id Software part of the group? If so, they should have at least a little to do with launching rockets. :)
