what has turbine learned from the flop-of-a-mmorpg ac2 that they have applied to lotr?
also, did turbine try to make an original mmorpg when creating lotr, or is it just a cheap wow copy designed to get a piece of the online gaming pie?
IANAL, but couldnt the statements that M$ employees made about Linux infringing XXX many patents be considered slander? This was obviously done to harm the reputation of Linux, and absolutely no information was given pertaining to the actual patents that Linux violates.
Perhaps, it's a different word when this is said about a product rather than an individual, but it seems like damaging the rep of a 'competing' product (with no proof) would have legal ramifications.
maybe not?
