    I miss old grand theft auto. :(

    Back before the playstation generation got ahold of it and it was the sort of PC game my friends would laugh openly about while sneaking it around the school computers. #frogger

    "I'm mad as hell and I'm not going to take it anymore!" I hope that article title was a Network homage :) #frogger

    I saw this one earlier today and decided to make a series of posts from DaneBoe videos.
    The guy is awesome... subscribed to his channel.

    You guys should also check the series he's doing with Machinima... called Rejected Mortal Kombat fatalities. #frogger

    Hey, let's see a Grand Theft Auto vs. SimCity now, just for the hell of it! (Yes, I'm aware it's T2 vs. EA, but anyways, for the hell of it.) #frogger

    So it's a MAME-in-a-Box.

    Nicer to hear about this I suppose than the seizure of illegal contraband. #retro

    I know it's true, but I find it difficult to believe that some 30 year old arcade cabinets is worth over $100,000 when they can be made for just a fraction of the cost.

    Note to self: when making bootleg cabinets, buy parts locally if possible. #retro

    @Bouchart: That value would have to be for all 168 machines, and even that is pretty generous. #retro

    @supercrap: Oh I see. I misread the article as value for each machine, not value for all of the machines.

    Still, the profit margin on those things must be huge. #retro

    Surely Pac-man and the like are out of copyright now?
    Or do they fall under the "Walt Disney Copyright till the end of time and space, and even then will probs still be in effect Act"?

    It's great to see law enforcement really clamping down on pirates, what with the 360 dude the other week, and now these Arcade cabinets pirating 30 year old games. These people are bringing the games industry to it's knees. :P #retro

    @deanbmmv: Pretty much anything created more recently than 1923 is still copyrighted and is very likely to remain so forever. Things from 1923 to 1963 which did not have a copyright notice on them when published are also in the public domain but I believe that is a small minority.

    Here's a good explanation of what copyrights have expired and when.

    @deanbmmv: That's remind me a lot of my own theory on robbery:

    You should only be allowed to rob old people (mostly senior citizens, but anyone over 50 is probably okay), because really who gives a shit... THEY'RE OLD!

    That's how the law works, right? #retro

    @Megaman LXIX: If they're over 70 years old, and not wearing Mickey Mouse ears, then they are in the public domain.
    So you can do what you want then, clone them, cut them up into your own derivative work whatever.
    Though while they are under 70 you are free to take small parts of them, poke fun at them, or use them as a lesson for all. #retro

    This is just misdirection on the part of Homeland Security. They actually just seized a dangerous shipment of highly modded Polybius machines that would threaten Western civilization as we know it. #retro
