Getting copies right: Open source gaming

| Today, in what is a veritable legal monsoon season, a law
| exists regarding just about everything. People are quick to
| abuse the law of the land for their own purposes, suing
| over anything, staking claims to this and that, and doing
| whatever else they can to manipulate things for personal
| gain. In the videogame world, the focus is more on using
| laws to keep everyone else's hand off of intellectual
| property, allowing each and every scrap of content to be
| used in only the way its creators intended. It's mostly
| a "look, but don't touch" affair.

| It's good to know that at least some people get it. While
| the world of legality is all about restriction,
| segmentation, and general selfishness, the "internet
| generation" has been accepting, adopting, and applying the
| open-source attitude more and more with each passing day.
