@blackace To establish that an advertisement is false, a plaintiff must prove five things: (1) a false statement of fact has been made about the advertiser's own or another person's goods, services, or commercial activity; (2) the statement either deceives or has the potential to deceive a substantial portion of its targeted audience; (3) the deception is also likely to affect the purchasing decisions of its audience; (4) the advertising involves goods or services in interstate commerce; and (5) the deception has either resulted in or is likely to result in injury to the plaintiff. The most heavily weighed factor is the advertisement's potential to injure a customer. The injury is usually attributed to money the consumer lost through a purchase that would not have been made had the advertisement not been misleading. False statements can be defined in two ways: those that are false on their face and those that are implicitly false.
I wish gamespot would do a better job in researching. Apparently the ellen page thing was blown out of proportion, and never an issue to begin with.. Go figure, people overreacting on the internet?! Making something out of nothing? No way? Yeah right.
@joke_man I was wondering how much longer it would be til you took the common way out. oh well, seems everyone loves being negative. I thought you would at least be a little more original, but then again what is.... alas :(
@Flubbbs as would I. I actually had a couple of my ideas put in dbz: budokai 2 for the PS2, and I never had compensation for it, nor did I make a funk over it. And won't, it's a game for all those who favor that genre to enjoy, and I was glad I could help. I can make money in the career I went to school for, and money isn't everything. just glad to be alive, and that I could help.
@Carpetfluff but then again, doesn't everyone who makes anything? there is nothing new under the sun, everything we see takes inspiration from something else....
