I think that the funniest part about this is, according to the Better Business Bureau website, Putt-Putt is no longer even in business, the internet really knows how to screw things up don't it?
who the would sue mojang? they are completley origional!
I'm confused as to what you mean by "origional" (it's spelled original by the way) and how being original relates to this lawsuit.
Anyway, they've had to deal with lawsuits before. I remember when ZeniMax tried to sue Mojang for copyright infringement because they happened to call that game "Scrolls" (ZeniMax is the parent company of Bethesda Softworks and Bethesda Game Studios, which means that ZeniMax owns the copyright to the Elder Scrolls franchise and all of its trademarks, hence why they sued Mojang). ZeniMax lost of course.
This case just seems to be a hell of a lot more idiotic.
What!? These people are absolute idiots, look at all the Survival Games maps, they all use the name that was used for the book and the movie, yet the author and producer isn't trying to "protect their company" or whatever, and everyone who has made a map or video of Minecraft Hunger Games, knows that the Hunger Games was a book and movie, yet, as I said, It's okay with the author and producer of it. But people make maps using Putt Putt as their name, NOT knowing it is an actual company, which barely anyone knows about (now I know why), and the company gets all mad!? Also not to mention the fact that it wasn't the game developers who took the name in the first place, it was whoever made these maps using the name. Those idiots have to know proper logic before the try to discuss a legal manner!
< Really Putt Putt... really? Oh NO! I USED THEIR NAME IN A COMMENT!! THEY MIGHT SUE ME!!
Actually I found out about this recently and assumed it was really recent. My bad to whoever replied to me earlier when I asked why they are getting sued so much...
But still, I don't know anyone who calls any of the morrowind series of games "the elder scrolls" except maybe rarely.
I know plenty of people whom call "elder scrolls" with or without the The part... me included...Of course I wouldn't call it the scrolls series as that would be silly... Since that is too broad of a term... The only reason I do call it by that name is due to the fact that I actually own the second game in the series daggerfall. Not that it would really run on a NTFS system...><
Anyway... *shakes head* this just seems like jumping the gun before they even shoot the bullet out. O_o
Hence shooting themselves in the foot or worse... Didn't really know putt putt was still around... hmm...more or less a copywrite... I just have to laugh at this due to lack of research....
Rollback Post to RevisionRollBack
My First World, always getting back to is a pleasure I enjoy with each new update that brings in more things to add in.
Putt Putt is really dumb to not realize that user generated mods is not Notch responsibility.
#1 the content does not violate US Laws or international laws.
#2 For well over 20 years they have allowed people to make courses under the US Laws and not they was to sue a guy who allows people to make custom made content? That is total .
#3 Notch is bound by Swedish Copyright laws and not US Laws.
#4 Any judge who rules under Putt Putt favor is smoking crack and Notch should appeal the decision under our Laws to the US Supreme Court since this case is probably going to be the Final Decision on this issue.
People needs to contact your Senators on this issues if their is a win in their favor. This is total .
Actually they are un-able to sue or file a lawsuit. they have Putt-Putt trademark... Not Putt Putt. Therefor they are unable to sue or file a lawsuit for a phrase that they do not own. They may own "Putt-Putt" , But they do not own "Putt Putt".
hmm i had the same response lol

No. Copyright laws are followed based on the company being harmed.

Completely off-topic but...
The Morrowind series?
It didn't even START with Morrowind, I have no idea where that nickname came from...
