The RIAA is easily the most anti-American organization still in existence right where they are constantly nailing innocent people and the courts generally find in their favor when it comes to awarding legal fees to victorious defendants. Well, that time may be coming to a quick and concise end.
How many lawsuits do you think the [...]
Remember that lawsuit that Gibson filed against Activision over patent violations? Well here’s an interesting fact about the patent in question. Gibson filed it the same year that Guitar Freaks made its debut in Japan.
Activision really isn’t having a good week. They’ve now got a lawsuit in their laps from Gibson (which sounds like a load of crap) and now Harmonix is starting trouble with them.

On a more serious note, this thing does connect your landline/phone to your PC allowing your computer to record who called and when and even record the actual phone call. So you can get your Patriot Act on and do some wiretapping of your own.
At the risk of sounding quite strange to some, I admit that I have a small collection of swords, mostly katana replicas. I have been tempted in the past to add replicas of famous gaming swords to my collection. Most noteably would be the Master Sword from Zelda, and both Cloud and Sephiroth’s blades [...]
The video game industry sees its fair share of legal disputes, most of which seem to be spearheaded by the infamous Jack Thompson. I can think of few that blew up quite as big as the whole “Hot Coffee” fiasco from Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas. I’ll spare you the details, because if you [...]
