IW Gets AC130 Takedown Notice

[=)BiT(= Evant3k]

Isn't there a disclaimer that says that while creating your modded content for the game IW owns full rights to the mod and the code that has been created? His copyright claim has no legal backing, as much as I hate to say this.

Joker FTW.

Go Joker! Awesome to hear an artist getting respected. Hopefully, Activision/IW do something to also show some respect to an artist's work.

Regardless of what a EULA says a court of law will always place intellectual property rights above a non binding EULA.

The problem he faces if representation......IW is effectively marketing the largest piece of entertainment media since the movie titanic, they will make more at midnight tonight than the top 3 blockbuster movies did all year on their opening weekend.......they will have their high priced lawyers bury him paper work and he will not have the monetary funds for proper representation......or they could simply give him credit for his intellectual work........

I for one support Jokers... "joke". As a modder, he knew very well that he didnt have a legal leg to stand on. Its very well possible that he knew the procedures for copyrighted video materials on Youtube. People are talking about burning bridges without remembering who torched them first.

Honestly, I laughed when I read this news. 402-s response was priceless.

Okay, that makes a lot more sense than Joker actually being serious about the whole thing. I can understand his discontent with IW, but honestly it strikes me as a bit immature.

ffs he isnt trying to have it removed from the game or anything. If you ask any modder then you will know that they simply want a bit of recognition, i know id want some for my mods. another point to note is that they asked for it when they announced there will be no mods for mw2 especially seeing mods are what made the whole series. Thats what pissed off the modding community. finally everyone knows what the EULA states, we simply dont care.

nvm. just read the rest of the thread instead of just the first page lol

Stick it to the man

Ridiculous. Unless IW stole Joker's code, he doesn't own the right to an AC130 in multiplayer. As much as I dislike IW for their decisions on multiplayer, this isn't an issue for me.

Amen to that.
