The problem with this, like other court cases, is that it costs a lot of money and time. meaning that production of games can be delayed. and these court things could go for years. sometimes the company that lose even fight against the courts decision, meaning they need to go to court again.
due to the amount of money and time lost, it would probably be better for Mojang to just pick a different name. maybe something more unique for their game.
sorry if any1 rejects that choice, I guess I am just one of those people that don't like wasting time and money. especially if it affects the company who is making great games for me to play. that y i say less time fighting more time creating.

Bethesda (or Zenimax or whoever that was) don't make me use torrents!
joke! - Just don't be an assholes or one day everyone of us can patent some word for personal use (Like number "6" - so there will not be "Elder Scrolls 6: ...")
Ugh, I was going to read through to see if anyone else had made the point I'm about to make, but then I didn't want to read page after page of "This is stupid. Bethesda is stupid."
It's nice you tried, but this thread (and this forum) is full of idiotic twelve year old (or those who act as if they are) kids who think Minecraft and in extension Mojang are the best thing in the entire world, and will hear nothing against them.
The article reporting this has (perhaps deliberately) left out important details, which has stirred them all up.
I enjoy watching idiots make a fool of themselves, and 90% of this thread is hilarious in that respect.
you guys know that Bethesda's dev team have nothing to do with this,right?
Zenimax is the one who take care of copyright stuff,so hating on their games and on the people who made them is just silly ^^,blame their lawyers.
Wow I thought generic titles like Scrolls could be used by anyone and anything.
Take Twilight series for example... *shudders*

Now see. If Bethesda can win this. I wonder how many people could sue Stephanie Meyer? I mean if you actually look at some of the dates the earliest I noticed was 1910 which was a poem.
Scrolls is a generic name. Someone should not be punished or sued or anything for deciding to use such a name. Im not saying its a bad name. Its just rather generic.
So yeah. Bethesda might be able to create some awesome games. But for this, they are incredibly lame.
They should have just... well you know left Mojang alone. Why? Because right now they are giving Mojang, Minecraft, and more importantly Scrolls, some nice publicity. People who probably wouldnt have heard about it are now hearing about it. People who have heard it and didnt think twice about it, might give it a shot to see why Bethesda is going go court over it.
Ive just copyrighted the words Craft, tool, and Beth... so if you have that in your name, ill take you to court :tongue.gif:; or to a game of SC2 XD
Ive looked over there forum ,including their zel, what ever people, who deal with the copyright... but there is no mention of any lawsuit, nor minecraft, or even the game(Yet to be official alpha released) Scrolls.
Has anyone else noticed that?
If Bethesda wins this court case I will never buy a game from them ever. End of story. Sorry I am just not going to buy games from a company with a terrible record.
However when they LOSE this court case, which they diffidently will, I will be on their forums laughing at them for a while and then will probably buy Skyrim when its released. Or I might just not buy the game, I don't know. It depends on how I feel about this matter later.
why'd you have to bring THIS bethesda i mean come on who calls them scrolls?Maybe some hipsteer who thinks hes cool i dunno! but come on!this is an INDIE developer :Flint and Steel: :Flint and Steel: :Flint and Steel: im very pissed
Bethesda... I'll be sure t let my friends know how much of an actual "arsle" (play on words ) Bethesda is.
Additionally I don't own, never have, and now thanks to Bethesda's little temper tantrum over this whole thing, I hope to never own any Bethesda games.
Bethesda has earned the boot and I certainly hope they get it.
This issue will will hopefully bring even more positive publicity to Majong and their developing Minecraft. :biggrin.gif:
You know, Scrolls is still a codename for an upcoming project. It's not even confirmed whether it will have that name when it will be available for commercial release.
And that means it's just as easy to change the name, too.
This is just stupid. I will put a voodoo curse of ultimate bad luck on Bethesda to decrease their already ridiculously small chances of winning this case.
That analogy doesn't work, because it assumes all the individual parts are run by the same entity, the brain. In an organization, like a company, there's more that one person, and more than one agenda. While Bethesda Game Studios is here to make awesome games, Bethesda Softworks is here to make sure that Bethesda Game Studios can still exist. The way the employees make a company "still exist" is by doing whatever they need to, legally. As in, it's their JOB to do this, and they have to do it. It's aside from morality or a bad attitude.
Also, everyone, please stop calling Notch and Mojang the "little guys" or the "indy company." Technically, yes they are, but they are the developers of a ludicrously popular game, and it's probably going to remain as such for a long time. They are making boatloads of money and they're going to be making even more once the game is out. They can afford to change one stupid and unappealing name of a game that isn't even out yet.
It's not just over the name of scrolls being used. It's because when Mojang went to copyright "Minecraft" their layers said to copyright "Scrolls" as well since it is their next upcoming game. which was a very retarded thing on Mojangs lawyers part. So if I was whoever is putting this stuff up on the website, at least get the story right....and not just make it look like it's the name that's doing it.
I heard that the lawsuit was because of the combination of the word Scrolls, and that they were both releasing on 11/11/11. the both combined would create market confusion and lost sales. don't flame, but this was an issue that both sides needed to talk out
