Re: jim kitchen headed for a great big lawsute?
I'm afraid I agree with Arqmeister on this. the law be buggered! why should these idiots like Lukasarts who don't give a rats arse about vi people accessing their stuff prevent someone from making their own as well. that's like saying "oh sorry you can't put braille or audio label on your tin of hines beans without paying a big fee to hines"
To be honest, copywrite has become so distorted from the psirit of the laws original intention, that I see no reason to respect it these days at all, as it's just another controlling tool of the fat cat companies and has very little to do with getting creative people what they deserve for their own creations (especially sinse usually it's not the authors/film makers who actually bennifit anyway).
While I understand getting sued is a problem, and I can appreciate that in legal battles it can come down to who can throw most money at into the ring which is just not a contest most people will win, at the same time if it hasn't happened it hasn't happened and having it prevent us having starwars, star trek, simpsons etc games seems drastically unfare, particularly sinse as tom Said it would be likely that if any of the fat cats did! take an audiogames developer to court over the perhaps 2000 usd prophet they got for their games the company would look ridiculous.
Phil after all has used loads of copywrited sounds and materialin his Sarah game and has come up with something awsome.
Btw, I confess I'm quite tired so concievably my opinions are slightly harsher than they would be, but still I don't see why s we should respect these grasping executive morons who wouldn't know a truly creative thought if it bit them on the bumb!
As Marx said, you can't get morality&nb sp; from creation of prophet.
