Lawsuits for Everyone!

TCW Podcast Episode 062 - Lawsuits for Everyone! Thanks @MyMac for suggesting this topic!  We delve into some of the landmark court cases that helped shape the video game industry.  Specifically we looked at the sphere of copyright law.  Starting with looking at what constitutes an infringement.  How similar can two works be, and where is the line if you modify the game.  We wrap up looking at the Game Genie, and how they managed to stay in business because they did not make permeant changes to the games that were modified.    Article linked by @MyMac: http://www.goliath.com/gaming/11-video-games-that-resulted-in-major-lawsuits/ Defense Command: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WoNaXAsBbns Defender: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jcQ4l_KeO0s&t=16s KC Munchkin: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=07JtE4pIq8U Pac-Man: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dScq4P5gn4A Lady Bug Arcade: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_K7BHmrEsSk Mouse Trap: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pZ5y3JvOMDo Super Mario Bro Movie Trailer: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wtMZKYnLg5c Zelda Cartoon Excuse me Princess: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FPxY8lpYAUM Super Missile Command: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7DuVjvl4FDs Game Genie Explained: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=C86OsYRACTM   New episodes on the 1st and 15th of every month!   TCW Email: [email protected]  Twitter: @tcwpodcast Alex's Video Game History Blog: http://videogamehistorian.wordpress.com   Intro Music: Josh Woodward - Airplane Mode -  Music - "Airplane Mode" by Josh Woodward.
