Wow Professor! I guess that's why they call you... "Professor" as you really dished out a valuable lesson here... "Tobias, open your book to 'Chapter 11'. "
I hope anyway!
I was wondering though, after reading the comments about whether Konami will do anything and I was thinking, why stop there? Create a situation where Konami can't ignore it because it's gone viral and out in the public. Right now Konami is trending pretty low, and they are an easy target to make fun of for their recent business decisions. I can't imagine they wouldn't react or try to do something if word got out that "Look how stupid they are! Konami doesn't even care about copyright issues for their own past works! Free Konami games for everyone!"
This could also be re-enforced by sending a letter to the copyright holders for all of the software titles that Tobias as released. Every last one of them. And the same letter too, which states that Tobias is profiteering off of the copyrighted works from this company, this company, this company, this one, this one too" and have that be in the same letter that you send out to each copyright holder. It might take some work tracking all that information down, but I think it would be worth it in the end.
If not only the public knows, but other companies as well, it should create an appropriate shut down hammer with Konami leading the charge.
Not sure if many of you knew this, but in the MSX communities, there was a place called Konamito, which was cited by Konami for having copyrighted material and they decided to shut down and reopen under a slightly different name and different content. There was a whole forum discussion about it
here.And then there is this too:
Metal Gear Remake gets the okay from Konami... Not!So I think they will react accordingly, especially if there is some fuel to add to the fire. As this been sent through Twitter? I know myself and Nightwolve are on Twitter and I'd be happy to send a tweet about this. I just need to lock and load. It would be more effective if we had an official tweet setup that we could copy and paste with who we want to send it to, i.e. @konami #KonamiCopyrights, et cetera.
