Comment This Gamasutra Article is Misleading. (Score 0) 409
First off: Apple is only having people remove the apps in countries where the copyright is valid. Remember - U.S. public domain is not valid everywhere. I believe that copyright law is largely made of feces just as much as the next programmer, but this is not surprising.
Secondly: The article makes no mention of whether or not Apple is removing apps which use the word "Memory" outside of the context of the puzzle game for which Ravensburger holds the copyright. At least in U.S. copyright law, context and usage play important parts.
This would be a useful place to practice skeptical thinking. Why is Gamasutra writing this article? Why did they leave out these details? I would wager that the answer to these questions is, "To stir up shit."
