Re: Halo Ripping and "Intellectual Property"...

In Response To: Re: Halo Ripping and "Intellectual Property"... (kapowaz) "I would suggest that the term "intellectual property" be parenthesised in some way, so as to highlight that it isn't an official legal term (beyond the pseudo-legalese of the likes of the WIPO), as is a popular misconception." Do you know anything about the law at all. The term "intellectual property" is a real legal term, just because it's referring to a game doesn't make the violation any less illegal. What would you do if you spent millions of dollars developing a software application and an employee decided to post the source code on the Internet? What would happen if your competition downloaded your source code, that you spent millions of dollars developing, and released the software....as their own. Isn't that a "intellectual property violation" ?
