"Stop this (perfectly legal thing) or our teams of lawyers will fuck up your life" seems to be the new iteration of having thugs beat up a family member or sending pictures of your kids playing outside.
I may consider stopping the kids from playing outside if they sent me those pictures of the lawyers beaten up by the thugs.
And this time, the game box will be accompained by a thug that will follow you to your home and will punch anyone who looks like they're thinking about copying it.
The way I see it, innocence protects somewhat from all but the most detailed descriptions in a book. A movie most of the times describes in almost perfect detail anything it depicts.
As I see it, games should have exactly the same laws (for those kind of things) as movies.
For reference, my opinion about books (pure text) is that they should have no control at all and that any problem with their free distribution, even a minimal one, should be treated as a serious attack on freedom of speech.
That's like saying, it's the size of a common green pea (about 0.5cm diameter) when in fact it's the size of a medium size citrus lime. That's like comparing Jessica Alba with This unkown person
For some reason, I'd guess one or both links are nsfw.
Sudden outbreak of... he'll be completely ignored.
Let's face it, saying "The new shiny thing that you barely know anything about, is the true responsible for all the evils" will always work better for the news than "There's just about the same percentage of bad people as always, nothing to see here, move along."
Ok, there will be pictures and videos that don't exist now but beyond that, what information does the actual inauguration add?
Does someone expect it to fail? Do you expect a magnicide? Someone to reveal breaking information about a miscount? What?
Do you think he'll do something unexpected? Dance? Sing?
Whatever people are going to say then, they can say right now. It's not an information adding event as the end of an election, or the result of an olympic competition.
Maybe I'm wrong and the president waits to inauguration day to really reveal his evil plans.
"MUWWAAHAHAAaaa. Gotcha! Not only I won't stop the war but I'm gonna invade 1d20* more countries! Yeah Baby!"
*: Indeed, the worst part would be discovering you're being presided by a D20 fanboy.
I wonder the price of getting a novel from a writer+editor.
i.e.: Let's say I have $x and want a novel from some author. I'd want full rights on that story, so I'm completely responsible of it's marketing and of getting a benefit from it.
What's x for an author who, for example, has never written a best seller but has some minor prize on a previous novel?
Maybe it's all a marketing ploy to promote Empire: Total War.
Dutch Pirates are stealig your mojo*!
*: That's how intellectual property was called in empireal** times.
**: The times of The Empire. Not to be mistaken with empirical times, i.e.: Time which has been derived from experiment and observation rather than theory.
***: There's no "***" call; why the hell are you reading this?
This is the final proof that pirates are destroying the economy!
Pirates are like terrorists!
And they pervert children to pirate more!
Pirates steal music and musicians everywhere are suiciding because they're so poor.
Did you already forget the article? Or do I have to blabber about children and wars for a while until I totally misdirect your atten... Until we really concentrate on the pirate comunist music thieves.

It's a thing of beauty, but I suspect it's not legal.
As always.
Wait, this isn't the britsh pedophiles topic.

Portal and World of Goo are trully fantastic games.
When I think what would happen if suddenly every large game company crashed for some mistical reason, I remember Goo and Portal and feel better.
Ok, and puzzle quest, too.
And Amorphous+ (stupid flash game. too many hours spent on it)
Please excuse my ignorance but why is UK's current situation so touchy with child abuse?
Has there been an abnormally large number of abductions recently?
Did a large pedophile crash against a building?
And this time, the game box will be accompained by a thug that will follow you to your home and will punch anyone who looks like they're thinking about copying it.
And you'll have to feed the thug.
I thought so. We disagree on that.

you don't just have to bend over and take it unless THE MAJORITY AGREES
And usually that only happens in prisons.
And some greek islands, if we trust some old travel books.

Can you *imagine* what the MySpace game would be like?
I don't remember the final score, but Dante wrote a detailed review.
I don't see why they should regulate video games any more than they regulate the content of books.
Do you think they should regulate movies any more than they regulate the content of books?
Well, to support your view, I must say I got to the commentaries to see if there actually was someone interested.
Maybe I'm getting old and can't follow current major events in the gaming world.

Seriously? People are unable to visualize mm?
Who can pass basic schooling without ever using a ruler?
Maybe their's was marked in human hairs, however gross that would be. Maybe the next unit was a finger? An eye?

we have both water, and - by virtue of solar power if necessary, oxygen from electrolysis.
With water? Forget solar power. We'll do power electrolisis with nuclear fusion.

This isn't to say that *something* wouldn't evolve. It's just that at a basic level, it wouldn't resemble anything we're familiar with.

I think the first response by american institutions will be:
"It has a positive benefit for the dutch because they are stealing from us. Which clearly proves it has a negative benefit for us".
