VERY unfortunate "Pubic Knowledge" typo in the article at the end.  Corrected as "Public" in the next line, but still.

was it a typo?  I wonder.

This is the link to comment of the DMCA if anyone is interested in doing that. Just hit comment and write everything you think is relevant. Hopefully something great comes from this

I hope public opinion, and expressed preference have a chance to influence the policy in this case.

Not a very good track record of that with the current government, unfortunately. :(

Here's hoping!  Go go Gadget democracy!

Wait.  That's not quite right.

Also, while on the subject, imagine what Penny could have done with the actual Internet on her little computer she had on that cartoon.  Who'd have needed Uncle Gadget with her around?

I substitute Episodes I, II, and III with the hypothetical walk-throughs done by Belated Media on YouTube (https://youtu.be/VgICnbC2-_Y)

Yeah, we kinda do!  That is why I hope we will get what we want, eventually.  We persist, when we have not really had much of a reason to for a long time, but here we are!

Yes, I am.  That's the thrust of this article.  Please do spread the information.

We actually do have a chance to get the DMCA modified in our favor in this way.  NCSoft isn't going to throw huge campaign contributions (or, indeed, any campaign contributions) at lawmakers to oppose this, and neither is any other game company.

Submitted a comment. Let's hope for the best. [fingers crossed]

It's Christmas...again. Still no City of Heroes.

How I miss that game. Especially in December. This is the lowest point of the year for me. If I could I would go straight from Halloween to New Years

I was talking with my guild mates in SWTOR on Ventrilo the other day, commenting about the difference in holiday events (Life Day is running in SWTOR), and I realized that, after five years gone, I still remember the routes I used to use in King's Row and Cap au Diable for hitting the gift boxes for candy canes. And how the 'snowball' animation, for a Stone tank, looked like they had a rock inside the snowball when they tossed it in their hand before they threw it. All the little things that other MMOs have failed to do that made CoH more than just an XP and abilities grind.

To be fair though Bea Arthur and Jefferson Starship never showed up for the CoH event.

Spoopy! Very nostalgic for me personally seeing as I joined CoX before Issue 6 was released so this is how I remember the game.  ;D

Happy New Year to all.  Maybe something amazing will happen in 2018.
If I was a Jedi, there's a 100% chance that I'd use The Force inappropriately.

Another year together!
