1. Agreed. Don't try to argue with me. I have an unhealthy compulsion to defend my statements. I think I might be this guy: http://xkcd.com/386/ 2. No, I'm not bad. I'm just drawn that way. ;) 3. It's not an openness to it. I just don't see the benefit in fighting a battle nobody can win. I do see opportunity in it. Even…
If the posters in this thread put their effort into art instead of fruitlessly arguing with greevar, there would be some mind blowing shyt in pnp right now. I mean this in the best possible way. Greevar were you sent here to destroy game art as we know it? P.S. Your ability to contribute to society in any form i believe is…
It would be awesome if someone did that. It's one of the reasons we made the game open source. The asshole who put the game up on the app store was pretty clearly acting in bad faith, and using a lot of stuff that was totally ripped from our website etc. Peter: Your maths has me beat-- I wish I was still in SF, but I'm not…

Some GNU GPL fans argue that it's perfectly legal because it's an original work created from scratch (which it is), though…
Ahh what the hell... someone might read it. I wouldn't call fire sharing new its older than some of the posters we have here... I think the fact that the industry is still around after such a long battle shows it's managed to minimize it to a point it can survive and for the most part keep moving forward to bigger and…
I wanted to open a thread that tries to get at the core of the issue of copyright and infringement. Not the moral or ethical issues, but the technical reality of it (i.e. copying and sharing is easy). I also wanted to ask others to share their thoughts on how we can settle this dispute about whom is entitled to what in the…
Well, I think that is partly because the current vehicle to play the majority of games (consoles) isn't exactly set up perfectly to switch over to online authorization. The online authorization and downloading of content happened after the current generation of consoles was designed and the business plan was to sell…
