YTMND sued by Sega over StH sites!

That responce YTMND is epic.

 

Additional plugins are required to display all the media on this page.

wut no

 

Sega's hard up for cash after Sonic 06 or somethin'? Seriously.

 

Whee. Sega's going down the same path as Sony. Next thing you know, it will be SHUT DOWN 4CHAN PPL MIGHT TIHNK THAT SONIC IS PORN. The modern gaming industry is the suck.

Oh yeah, I almost forgot: lol humor

 

Wow. Game industries are going Sony.

 

No, I meant, I'm not going to download a plugin just to play the audio on a fucking YTMND. In fact, I despise myself for sending packets to that domain.

That response was pure brilliance.

 

I loved it. Only way to win battles is by rap battles.

Or Street Fighter II.

 

Pedestrian spamming tactics. Yawn.

 

Oh, um, by the way, this isn't a lawsuit so much as an attempt to show that they are actively enforcing the trademark, which would strengthen their legal ground should there actually be a trademark infringement. Sega of Europe has no intent of following up, nor do they reasonably believe that YTMND would cave to any of its demands (in particular the one about transferring ownership).

So you YTMND fags can calm down.

 

Yeah, because whenever companies try to prevent fair use of their properties, it's really just because you have to do so to keep trademarks. Really.

You overestimate Sega's ability to make coherent plans. The likeliest story is that they saw a bunch of internet twirps giving them bad face, and hoped to cow them into submission. Happens all the time.

 

I think Viacom tried the same with ebaums world. For their celebrity soundclip boards, which are used to make prank calls. It was the biggest potential legal challenge ebaums world faced I believe but they came out in the end. I can't see tymnd being silenced, especially if they got a lawyer on staff.

 

Parody laws should stop this garbage by Sega, surely?

 

Not good news at all.

 

Fair use.
