? Anytime, anywhere you use a copyright protected logo, etc., there's
money being paid, usually by the entity using it, not the owners. Nothing new, been that way for decades.

I don't mind about games containing only fake logos and "Coventries" if
the game programmers make it excessibly easy to substitute the fakes with the real thing. GPL was the prime example in this, how long took it to produce the correct logos, images and names for the on-line community? A month? I do in fact believe that this is the only way to screw the lawyers: Produce games, put every development cost into the game itself, don't mind about rights AT ALL, never use ANY logo or name found in RL, and let people do whatever they like about the authenticity. ---Asgeir--- Indy wrote: > http://sports.espn.go.com/espn/sport...ory?id=1945691 > > EA ruined NASCAR racing by getting exclusive rights, now they're going > to do the same to football.

It's cool that you have such a high opinion of yourself. No-one else does, right? And that's because no-one else understands how complex you are? You're on an intellectually higher plain and people just can't deal with that. That's it, isn't it. That *must* be it. Why else wouldn't anyone want to be your friend? |

BS Jp, In the movies, example- Coke pays to have the "characters" drink
them... same with cars, any merchandise, everything.

Exactly... because at some point say a big company MIGHT want to place
their product in the product/game. at that point Just like the movies, if programmers/publishers dont cut off their noses so to speak, would make it a lot easier to get some projects going...

BS Plowboy. Yep, characters get paid to use the product. Any the owning
movie company, etc. pays Coke, etc. for that. Thats why many times you'll see a carton of, say, milk, and instead of some brand name, it'll say "Milk" on it i.e. Company X didn't want to play the game in that case.
