Bethesda needs to keep it's rabid lawyers on better leashes.
Obligatory : Scrolls. There, I said it. Are you going to sue me now ? Even better, I should make a game called : Scrolls of the elders ! It will STILL probably be more stable with less bugs then skyrim will probably have
Edit - Seriously, If they actually do sue mojang, all minecraft fans should boycott Bethesda.

SUE ME FOR THIS BETHESDA!!!!!!!!!! SUE ME FOR JUST PUTTING THESE WORDS IN THIS POST CMON SUE ME SUE ME NOW!
Hopefully, this won't go through... I'm not sure of law in our countries, but in NZ, you wouldn't be able to sue for such a ridiculous thing. It's like Coke sueing Dr. Pepper for the use of the phrase 'carbonated beverage drink.' Get a LIFE, Bethesda!
wow... wtf are they thinking???? ELDER scrolls is deffinatly a diffrent game than scrolls... its the same eather way around, i think that they should play his out nicely maby bolth ppl change there names allitle and done!!!
But there is NO chance that Mojang will win this if it escalates. Zenimax is a massive company, and, like most people said, is worth BILLIONS. If this goes to court, Zenimax will win. Period. Let us hope that this doesn't escalate.
Am I the only one who thought it was impossible to have copyright on a word?

thats stupd, you cant sue some one on a word unless its owned by them like how nintendo now owns its on like donkey kong... even though they dont care if anyone uses it.
you can trademark a word/s. "The Elder Scrolls" has been a trademark for a long time now..they have several games out in the series. From wikipedia: "Infringement may occur when one party, the "infringer", uses a trademark which is identical or confusingly similar to a trademark owned by another party, in relation to products or services which are identical or similar to the products or services which the registration covers. "
I can see where Bethesda's legal dept is coming from but they don't need to sue..
Quit whining...its a legitimate issue that needs to be dealt with by mojang, not immature kids on a forum who don't know what they are talking about :|

Some one obviously doesn't get it
scrolls have been around for a long time.

Bethesda gave the lawyers consent to sue them. Do you think lawyers can just sue people in someone else's name without that person's consent?
Did they invented that word? Or bought it??? o.O
