BOLS frontpage and Faeit gone?

True, but it could be that Blogger has disabled his site due to repeated infractions violating ToS

Ok, that could explain naftka.blogspot.co.uk, but what about BoLS? BoLS isn't a repeat DMCA take-down recipient.

Tell me more about your law degree and expertise in international copyright law.

It's blatantly obvious. If you look and see it's a copy isn't that how it's applied?

The GW apologists though, are getting as bad as EA apologists....

Another account created just to post this.

An account created just to post this.

FTFY. BBCain did at least create the account in <2010>

its just control, thats all. They want to control every single aspect of their game/company. Thats why I fully expect them to be mail order only in less than 5 years.

We find it so strange because for the most part, other companies dont act like this. Why would you want to restrict online sales? or make it difficult for stores to carry your product? Can you imagine if apple "defended its IP" in the same way?

I cant believe this doesnt hurt profits. (notice I didnt say sales) People quit over this stuff and I cant imagine who has the money to buy into GW stuff nowadays. It cant be kids.

I agree with you Cain, I havent seen more than 2 40k players in a long time. People have shifted to other games and find the experience cheaper and more enjoyable.

The GW apologists though, are getting as bad as EA apologists....

What are these games that are cheaper than GW games? can you let me know so I can join in? Because all the other games I've seen are around about the same price for what you get,

Kids can't afford GW games, kids could never afford GW games, kids can't afford much, they don't tend to have money, parents though, parents will pay out the nose to make their kids happy. thats who they sell to.

Also, you obviously don't know about Apple and its IP protection or you wouldn't even begin to compare it to GW, they're not even in the same league. Apple sued people for using the word Pod. for using the letter i, for making square phones with no buttons. Its laughable to compare asking someone to take down scans of a magazine your publish and try to sell that were posted before the magazine was released and this.

Funny that BBCain created a new account just to post that, eh?

Funny how you are unable to see that Ive had my account since 2010, and just choose not to post on this ****ty site. I only chose to post now because of the content of this thread.

Oh, and OrksOrksOrks dismissal of my argument just justifies my position. He truly doesn't know what he's talking about half the time.

[RealGenius]

isn't that how it's applied?

Obviously not, since ChapterHouse is still selling them after the court case.

It is allowed to create compatible parts. Like if the hard drive fails on your iMac, you don't have to buy a new hard drive from Apple. Or if you wreck the bumper on your auto, buy a new one from many sources. Even a "compatible" one with new and stylistic differences. Same for shoulder pads compatible with GW Space Marines.

Hmm, it is interesting the way of law. I am not against that. But I also wouldn't survive without that pictures out before the GW did. I think it was just a plus for the players which may look on the models before they arrived. We have at home almost all WD, which came out. The sad part is that from WD becomes something like propagation material for new releases. With the most terrific painting tips ever.

Maybe you stone me. But it is sad that they try to stop good mod projects and things like that just to protect something. I always thought that WARHAMMER was mainly for fans. And yes I am hard core fan. But this is sad. The whole new policy of GW is shame.

It was kind a same thing when in my country we was doing fan translation of Harry Potter final book, because we cannot wait for official book in CZ. Was that against the law? Yes it was but anyway all of us buy the book after that...The point is that one day theirs actions destroy an legacy..

Touché.

I claim laziness? Short-term blindness? Mental incapacity?

Apple does defend it's IP in a similar manner, the same as samsung and google do in the tablet/phone wars.

No one is bad as anyone defending simcity...
