The Law strikes again...

Well, I guess since MGS4 is already out Konami has to take money from somewhere.

Nothing is gonna coem of it, just like all the Gibson lawsuits that nothing came of.

I do think they have a chance at this, seeing they have "Rock Band" arcade machines elsewhere in the world. What makes this an awful stunt is the timing. Why didn't they do this when Rock Band was announced and not when it was deemed profitable?

In other words:

This could also be karma for what Viacom did to Youtube users, in which case I wholeheartedly agree with Konami.

YouTube privacy at risk in Google-Viacom ruling

Google scored a legal victory in keeping its search source code secret from Viacom, but YouTube users were not so fortunate with their privacy.

A federal judge ruled on Wednesday (PDF) that the search giant doesn't have to turn over the code to Viacom, which filed a $1 billion copyright infringement lawsuit against Google in 2007.

However, the judge granted a Viacom motion that records of every video watched by YouTube users, including their login names and IP addresses, be turned over to the entertainment giant.

The Electronic Frontier Foundation called the ruling a threat to YouTube users' privacy.

"The court's order grants Viacom's request and erroneously ignores the protections of the federal Video Privacy Protection Act (VPPA), and threatens to expose deeply private information about what videos are watched by YouTube users," the EFF said in a statement.

Change that year from 2005 to 1999 and you have a reason for Konami to be angry. I hope they get the money. I really love the Drummania series.

Rock Band 2 was announced.
I'm gonna go on a limb and say that this is perfect timing for Konami.

EDIT: Anyway, I'm kinda watching this with glee.
Europe got raped by Harmonix and EA, Japan takes it personally and beats back? =P

Why would Japan give a crap about silly Europeans. They don't care about other countries, they just want our money.

Just let me have my dreams!
And they can have EA's money, as long as I can still have Spore!
