As such, everyone needs to be advised of the following:

1. All of you should refrain from making remarks that are illegal (usually the ones of a "defamatory, untrue, threatening, and damaging" kind). If you do make such remarks, and there is an issue, you will be held personally responsible and we will have no qualms passing your details on to a lawyer so that they can take any action they deem necessary (and is within their legal right).

That means we may be legally required to give a lawyer IP addresses and timestamps, along with your registered email address or other details about your account. You may think your anonymous online username protects you, but trust me, it doesn't as much as many of you would think. Even those of you who use TOR, and then proceed to tell us where you live... along with every detail about your life.

2. Furthermore, any comments that are pointed out to us which are illegal, will be removed. We have a rule against illegal stuff so this shouldn't come as a surprise.

That said, I've got no interest in reading a 396 page thread and deciding what is or isn't illegal. I am not a lawyer. So all of you should be able to exercise a modicum of common sense and know that some things you say online may have consequences.

As I have said before and will say again, I am not your baby-sitter. As human beings, you need to take responsibility for your own actions. So, if you find yourself making a comment that might get you into trouble "in the real world", you really do need to think again before hitting the submit button.

This has been your mandatory FBI warning.

You just want to cover you ass with this. Pussy. After that monocled reply to the guy, this is disappointing.

You hold your flock to high standards DU. Compare to the tweet:

Client was attacked by a lunatic claiming he owned their game name. If they didn't protect themselves, could have been an issue.

It fails to mention that the lunatic had ran two crowd-funding campaigns and had released a product larger than many contemporary games under the very name. I find this statement of Ryan Morrison the most duplicitous of all on both sides of this debacle.

His claim seems to be that "donations" don't count and releasing a free(ish) demo doesn't count towards anything capable of being trademarked.

Wow, so now Best Lawyer is trying to censor the Internet by threatening anyone who dares to post about the inconvenient truth. That's a new low.

Don't be an idiot. DU is covering us as much as he can. I definitely don't envy him for having to deal with this bullshit.

You hold your flock to high standards DU. Compare to the tweet:

Client was attacked by a lunatic claiming he owned their game name. If they didn't protect themselves, could have been an issue.

It fails to mention that the lunatic had ran two crowd-funding campaigns and had released a product larger than many contemporary games under the very name. I find this statement of Ryan Morrison the most duplicitous of all on both sides of this debacle.

Also fails to mention that being a lunatic and/or attacking someone wouldn't actually affect your legal ability to establish a brand name or register a trademark in any way. Pretty much all of Ryan Morrison's comments on the issue boil down to this summary: "If Cleve had been nice to us we might have stopped using his name, but since he's a dick, we're going to go ahead with the attempt to usurp it. Take that."

What a class act. Glad to see their kickstarter is totally going to succeed. I thought it was amusing at first, but now I hope Cleve actively goes to court and wins.

That means we may be legally required to give a lawyer IP addresses and timestamps

Why is the 'happily' from 'happily worked with Cleve' using a different font in Ryan's letter ?

yeah, the sudden shift in tone is weird. "Cleve".

You just want to cover you ass with this. Pussy. After that monocled reply to the guy, this is disappointing.

Don't be an idiot. DU is covering us as much as he can. I definitely don't envy him for having to deal with this bullshit.

Why do you take this thread seriously?

SomethingAwful still has the better legal threats.

His claim seems to be that "donations" don't count and releasing a free(ish) demo doesn't count towards anything capable of being trademarked.

Whether these establish the trademark or not is irrelevant to my point. That is for lawyers to decide. Spinning the case as "a madman comes out of the blue and tries to steal our name" is deceitful either way.

Someone should make this into a novel. This character material - a Neanderthal developer, working on a game for 20 years, an incompetent lawyer, trying to erase himself from history - that's pure gold.

I am not a licensed lawyer, but just what is the harm (damage?) being alleged by Ryan Morrison? The Codex is not a mainstream website and it is not a uniform entity. I just cant see any judge being amused having to hear a dispute over flaming on video game forums.

Moreover, while DMCA take-downs are not my forte, I did not believe them applicable to this situation. What content is he initiating the DMCA over? Videos? Names?

An incompetent and insecure lawyer vs a solipsistic snake oil salesman. Oh boy, oh boy!

I don't know if a novel, but could be made into a movie surely.

Cleve: Vince Vaughn
Morrison: Simon Pegg

So much potential.

They'd have to register and lurk 1 year / pay

Oh look another law bully hoping to shut the opposition with vague terms and bullshit threats.

Works well on most spine-less internet goers. It is the simplest way you could remove a problem as most people shirk away when hearing just the word lawyer, like they are some mythical being.

He clearly hadn't done his research on this site though. Or any research at all. Or possibly isn't even educated.
