Content Rules, Machinima, and More
Hugh Hancock wrote up the full discussion of his conference call with Microsoft about the Game Content Usage Rules we mentioned yesterday. He mentions Halo specifically, puts forth some very common-sense arguments to some of the overreactions that hit the net soon after the Rules did, and even manages to squeeze in an xkcd reference. You can't do better than that. (He also suggests you read an article written by Fred von Lohmann, of the Electronic Frontier Foundation, on this subject - he was also in on this conference call, and, unlike Hugh, IS a lawyer. Fred's article is pretty positive as well.) Bottom line from yesterday ("Don't Worry, Be Happy") still stands. As long you're not making "Cortana does Cleveland" or something...
