Apparently a petition to have it be more transparent has already been started.

Valve owns the trademark for DOTA right now. It will end short and sweet, regardless of the fact that this was filed 4 months ago. Even though it was under Blizzard license, they never actually bought up the ip for it. Whats even sadder is the fact they're trying to shut down Valve's Dota in...

I can't help but feel that this would have been a lot less likely to happen if Blizzard and Activision weren't in each other's check books. Doesn't hurt that they apparently waited until development was pretty much done, having made several comments that they were okay with it.

I know this isn't really "necessary" as a post but it made my day and I'm sure it'll do the same for you. Apparently we really ticked them off by beating back SOPA, PIPA and OPEN. Can't wait to see how this ends up being responded to.

Here we go again. Yeah, we literally have not learned since the last time. Once again, we'll have another SOPA thrown at us from under the table with no real process or oversight whatsoever. Do what you can to stop it, limited as you may be should you choose to do so.

I'd feel ripped off by the cupcakes.

This coupled with the guy being extradited from the UK for hosting a UK website on UK soil and the suspected American terrorist being executed in Yemen without a trial has me seriously ****ing worried. Are we really world police, or are we the freaking mafia at this point. Apparently not being...

All the Megaupload staff who have been arrested were not American and were not arrested in America. **** you, US law. You don't run the world.

Seeing as how SOPA or ACTA are a very real possibility, I'd like to tell you guys that, for better or worse, posting with you has been an enlightening honor.

At times, I agree, but he's pretty quick to point out when/if you compliment him that he has a team of writers who make stuff up for him. Otherwise, it tends to show when he's debating anyone that he not only reads the books they bring on his show (with one infamous exception he actually...

To sum the law up, someone read the Patriot Act and said "not good enough"? I mean, I'm honestly wondering who the hell thought something this audacious would be worth putting through, let alone able to make it through.

Yeah, pretty much nails it. I just turned 18, but don't see much point in voting for anyone but Ron Paul because, frankly, everyone else seems to be bought and paid for to some extent. Why bother voting if it just means you're as guilty as the guy who gets elected either way?

They're really trying to get this piece of shit through, aren't they?

The irony inherent in that they are pretending to like something they are at the same time supposed to pretend to hate. And the video got taken down for it, came back up, got taken down, got taken to court, then had some very questionable information leaked through it. Watching the video alone...

It has been postponed until January of next year.
