Well, can't say I'm not disappointed. Hoped this conversation went for a more interesting turn with which to partake in again. Cripes, as usual the conversation the direction heads into the inevitable degrade into who has the bigger braincock.

It's shit like this that makes me leave this forum for weeks at a time and ask myself why I keep coming back expecting something different.

Great, completely forgot what I was going to say. Maybe it'll come back in a few weeks.

I didn't say it was for a fact their intent but there really is nothing to gain from this lawsuit. The game hasn't been released, thus generated no revenue thus nothing for them to claim. It is reasonable to conclude they are doing this to avoid potential issues in the future, or the lawyers just need to look like they are actually needed

Secondly, are you really so arrogant as to think you understand copyright law better then a civil attorney with decades of experience in said law?

No, all you said was " go talk to a civil attorney", which I've explained quite succinctly why I would not do it. Because I'm aware of the nominative uses of a trademark. I've also explained how other companies who have similar issues with trademarks can do a lot better without the nastygram of a letter or looking dumb, by not allowing lawyers to sue others with no restraints when they make money from the threats of a lawsuit.

Then you confuse trademark law with copyright law. And this isn't the only time that I've disagreed with you in regards to copyright law when you've gotten it wrong.

Finally, just because I'm not a civil attorney, a lawyer, a judge or anything else, it's rather insulting that I can't sit here and understand the laws professed in front of me, especially when copyright is being used and twisted mainly to bully smaller companies (like Notch's). So if you think this is arrogance, that I've educated myself on the fair use doctrine, research patent law and it's problems, look at copyright and its uses and abuses, then I don't know what to tell you.
