If I'm a dad with young children, I might want to set up the mouse preferences differently depending on the user. Full-functions for me and the older kids, one-button for the toddlers and grandparents. It's actually a pretty fucking cool idea.
mentioning toddlers and grandparents in one sentence, then dropping the f-bomb in the next... mod this fucker up +5 for style
no. they enjoy giving slashdotters like yourself something to rant about. it makes them feel fulfilled. now if they'd only add a "Depressing" modifier, i'd mod you up.
everyone flips out?
no. just a handful of bitchy mothers in the middle of buttfuck nowhere decided to make it their life's priority to complain about something as novel as a video game.
and now everybody else has to deal with it because it's "deeply important" to the concerned few. america, the democracy that never really is a democracy.
IMO as long as mashups are not being profited from, why should the copyright holders even care. i have been producing mashups for several years now and have yet to be approached by a copyright holder of any songs i sample. generally, most bootleggers like myself have posted warnings explaining that the producers of the mashup do not own the copyrights and will be willing to take down any songs in question by request of a representative of the copyright owner.
that being said, i have only seen a couple cases in which other mashup artists have been asked by the original artists to take down their creations from their site. they were taken down without question, and that was that
