In Response To: Re: Internets (Colin Hansen)


: It has nothing to do with censorship, it has to do with property. Microsoft
: has the right to allow or not allow anyone usage of their property.
: Actually, those Game Content Usage Rules are quite fair, and really not an
: issue to anything currently being done. The only issue they're very
: strongly enforcing is that you can't make money off of something made with
: their product. They even quote Creative Commons License, which is a very
: friendly maneuver, with the exception of sharing their game - of course,
: as is written.

: Fair use still applies and will defend you in most places, and it sounds
: like most machinima is fine. Having to add that line of text is not a huge
: chore, and it sounds like you'll probably only get in trouble for not
: having that line if your machinima is extremely popular. Even then, they'd
: just tell you to add it.

"You can’t use Game Content to create pornographic or obscene Items, or anything that contains vulgar, racist, hateful, or otherwise objectionable content."

Doesn't sound like that has much to do with property. It's like If I loan you a videocamera so you can record your daughters soccer match, but with the restriction that there can't be any profanity* in it, or I'll sue you. I cannot possibly imagine what sort of justice would allow that. It IS censorship. The video I make is for my own use, and if I want to use it to attack Microsofts' corporate practices or a political party, I damn well will. I will not allow myself to be gagged by what Microsoft's Legal Team deems appropriate or inappropriate.

*replace profanity with any of the following: hate speech, pornography, obscenity, rants about a political party, etc.
