Quickie - Zombie Rights

| | Comments (62) | TrackBacks (0)

Although primary season may have us thinking about voters' rights, the ACLU has nothing to do with this one.  The row is over the XBox 360 game "Dead Rising" and its striking similiarities to "George A. Romero's Dawn of the Dead." 

 

Here's the scoop from Reuters

NEW YORK (Reuters) - An independent movie producer with rights to the horror movie "George A. Romero's Dawn of the Dead" sued video game maker Capcom Co Ltd on Monday in the latest salvo in a copyright dispute.

The producer, MKR Group, alleged that Capcom's popular "Dead Rising" game was essentially a computer game version of its "Dawn of the Dead" movies.

...

"Both works are dark comedies," the complaint filed in U.S. District Court in New York on Monday reads. "In both, the recreational activities of the zombies and absurdly grotesque 'kill scenes' provide unexpected comedic relief."

"Both works provided thoughtful social commentary on the 'mall culture' zeitgeist, in addition to serving up a sizable portion of sensationalistic violence," it said.

 

So I guess the question we need to ask is can anyone use the concept of a mall full o' zombies without infringing on "Dawn of the Dead"?  I don't see MKR suing Joe Ma and Wilson Yip over Bio Zombie.

Awesome site you have got here.

Building a Mosque at Ground Zero has to really be the silliest plan in the history of the human race, I actually sense that it's maliciously conceived, at very best, to insight conflict. I am not much a conspiracy theorist and yet this is either shameful or noxious, quite likely the two of them. yolanda
