Comment Indy Game Developer? (Score 1) 494

Which part of this game did you develop exactly? The characters? The game play? The maze layout?

I haven't heard the sound effects, just seen your screen shots, but I'd be willing to bet they sound exactly like "pacman" as well.

You've developed nothing. All you did was steal someone elses ideas and try and claim them as your own. This is exactly what copyright is for. Try developing your OWN game, then claim to be an Indy Game Developer.

I guess you missed my "or at least that's how they'll sell it to the media."

They don't care what /. thinks. /. and 4chan are lost causes to them. They know that. My parents on the other hand, no matter how many times I try and explain to them the benefits of limited copyright terms, can't get past the idea of why people should get another persons hard work for free. In their mind Walt Disney created Mickey Mouse and as such the Walt Disney Corporation should have the rights to it's image forever. Anyone that doesn't think so is just trying to get something for nothing.

If you don't think the RIAA and MPAA will spin this in the exact way I described, you've got your head in the sand. If you think they'll view these DOS attacks as anything but a victory, you've got your head up your own ass.

If DOS'ing a website is wrong then why is Aiplex Software, a proxy of the MAFIAA, doing it too?

Because the RIAA and MPAA are respectable businesses that are only trying to protect their legitimate property, and 4CHAN are a bunch of scary anarchists that want to destroy everything you hold dear. or at least that's how they'll sell it to the media.

According to the BBC article he also threatened the President. http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-beds-bucks-herts-11296303 Of course mentioning that in the summary wouldn't have gotten the /. Free Speach RAH RAH RAH cheerleaders dancing.

In case you were unaware, threatening the President of the United States is against the law in the US. http://www.law.cornell.edu/uscode/uscode18/usc_sec_18_00000871----000-.html If he'd done it in the US, my guess is he would have been arrested and deported.

Yes, I think an overly broad court ruling could effect the FBI's ability to spy.

Why do you keep calling it an "independent" investigation. As I said, this "independent" investigation was funded by the Lower Marion Board of School Directors. How exactly is that independent? Because they claim it is? Big surprise, they found no wrong doing!

Did you even read the investigation? They even admit that the consent forms made no mention of the existence or capabilities of the LANrev TheftTrack feature.

From the report:

Students and their parents or guardians were required to sign the District’s guidelines concerning the acceptable use of LMSD’s local network. Those guidelines – which were prepared several years before the District launched the One-to-One initiative – do not address the issues specifically raised by the issuance of laptops to students, including the existence or capabilities of the LANrev TheftTrack feature. Families able to pay also were required to pay annual insurance fees and insurance deductible payments in the event of laptop theft or damage. The District’s communications about the insurance requirements also did not disclose the existence or capabilities of TheftTrack.

Maybe the FBI doesn't want the courts to rule on any spying charges that might effect their own efforts. It'd be a little embarrassing for them to have the defense attorney's bring up questionable cases of the FBI spying on citizens. Worst case scenario for them would be to have a ruling that was general enough to force them to stop some of their own activities. Much easier to say, they didn't mean any harm, we're just gonna let them go.

Also, that report you linked was funded by the Board of School Directors and is hardly "independent", even though it claims to be.
