I have heard that one of the reasons that they C&D innovative, good projects like this is because in copyright law, they can lose their status with said copyright if they do not defend it when being infringed upon. Probably haven't translated that very well from legal terms into human terms, but I blame flawed copyright laws. I still put blame into WB for having to be so evil as to C&Ding a project that does not make any profits.

This could be minorly beneficial to WB. For exampe, Skyrim customer loves Skyrim, but doesn't know much about Lotr. Said Skyrim customer sees this huge Lotr mod and tries it out. This customer has now been introduced to Lotr through an entirely different means of advertisement. Especially because MERP is a completely non-profit project. I don't see what WB gains by the C&D.

The lengths that all of these large corporations go to sue the little guys in fear of a .0001% drop in profits really grinds my gears.

Warner Brothers have sent a cease and desist letter to the creators of "Middle Earth Roleplaying Project" for Skyrim. The developement of the mod has stopped since this order from WB, but the team says that this is not finished yet.

As you probably already know, the PCI slot is 1.0 x16. Would a PCI 2.0 work with the slot?

"Take note, I don't know fairly much about PC hardware"

Yeaah... I haven't had a reason to ever open up my desktop for however long i've had it.

It's just a Dell Studio XPS with 8 gigs of ram and an intel quad core. So i don't think it would have trouble handling an updated card.

Hello, I am currently using the Geforce GTS 240 that initially came with my PC as an OEM in '09. I am looking to dish out a maximum of around 200$. So far I have been looking into buying a GTX 560 1GB by EVGA, or a Geforce GTX 550 Ti 1024mb by PNY.

Take note, I don't know fairly much about PC hardware. I thought that you couldn't upgrade OEMs because they were integrated, but that isn't the case, right? Anyways, any suggestions and input would be nice. Thanks for any help given!
