p style="text-align: center;"img style="margin: 0px;" src="http://img.qj.net/uploads/articles_module2/78837/deadrisingdance_qjgenth.jpg"/pbrEarlier this year, a href="http://wii.qj.net/tags/capcom/107" id="tag" title="Game Developer"Capcom/a was sued by the MKR Group, the firm handling a href="http://wii.qj.net/tags/george-a--romero/9665" id="tag" title="film director"George A. Romero/a's a href="http://wii.qj.net/tags/zombie/5394" id="tag" title="an undead person"zombie/a films. The lawsuit accused a style="font-style: italic;" title="Xbox 360 - Dead Rising" href="http://xbox360.qj.net/Dead-Rising/cid/544"Dead Rising/a of being too similar to Dawn of the Dead. Just some of the similarities that MKR presented to the court:brolliBoth works are set in a bi-level shopping mall./liliThe mall has a gun shop, in which action takes place./liliThe mall is located in a rural area with the National Guard patrolling its environs./liliBoth works are set in motion by a helicopter that takes the lead characters to a mall besieged by zombies./liliMany of the zombies wear plaid shirts./liliBoth works feature a subtext critique of sensationalistic journalism through their use of tough, cynical journalists with short brown hair and leather jackets as a lead male character./liliBoth works feature the creative use of items such as propane tanks, chainsaws, and vehicles to kill zombies./liliBoth works are a parody of rampant consumerism./liliBoth works use music in the mall for comedic effect./lilispan style="font-style: italic;"Dead Rising/span's use of the word "hell" references the tagline for Dawn of the Dead's release ("When there's no more room in hell, the dead will walk the earth.")./li/olYes, I know. Some of these "similarities" are a bit too tenuous to draw any irrefutable evidence from, and as far as the judge is concerned, the lawsuit is now ruled to be dismissed. It actually brings to mind Sony's recent a title="Sony slammed for 'copying' Sackboy costumes, explained as coincidence" href="http://www.qj.net/Sony-slammed-for-copying-Sackboy-costumes-explained-as-coincidence/pg/49/aid/126368"statement about similarities and coincidences in span style="font-style: italic;"LittleBigPlanet/span content/a, but moving on...brbrSpecifically, here's Judge Richard Seeborg's verdict:brbrp style="padding-left: 40px; padding-right: 40px;"[That MKR] has not identified any similarity between span style="font-style: italic;"Dead Rising/span and any protected element of Dawn of the Dead. Rather, the few similarities MKR has alleged are driven by the wholly unprotectable concept of humans battling zombies in a mall during a zombie outbreak./pbrThe key word here is "protected". And in short: the concept or plot device of zombies in a mall is span style="font-style: italic;"not protected/span by copyright. In fact, as the Judge says, it's span style="font-style: italic;"wholly unprotectable/span - no matter who you are or what you do. So, MKR can't sue Capcom for something that isn't protected.brbrMeanwhile, Capcom may have won the case, but at a rather sour note, the Judge also gave a stinging remark upon discussion of one of the similarities MKR accused of Capcom (i.e. Both works are a parody of rampant consumerism). According to the Judge:brbrp/pp style="padding-left: 40px; padding-right: 40px;"To the extent that span style="font-style: italic;"Dead Rising/span may be deemed to posses a theme, it is confined to the killing of zombies in the process of attempting to unlock the cause of the zombie infestation. The social commentary MKR draws from Dawn of the Dead, in other words, appears totally absent from the combat focus found in span style="font-style: italic;"Dead Rising/span./pp/pbrOh.

A hilarious video marking the beginning of the end for some millions of 360s out there. Enjoy!

I'm thinking about trying it to solve a problem I'm having with caveboy sr's setup - he has Vista Ultimate PC with VMC configured as an extender to his Xbox360. The VMC is also watching my music and movies shares on my NAS, a Buffalo Terastation Pro. The XBOX360 can see the shares in its MCE view, but not any content - no files, folders, nothing. I thought this was because they are user protected, but even enabling the guest account didn't change anything.

TVersity looks to be able to solve that, through re-presenting them to the XBOX360. I'm not sure if it means I'll have to delete the current extender pairing and make a new one with the TVersity server, if I install it on his PC. I also found a possible registry fix for the issue (http://forums.xbox-scene.com/index.p...post&p=4174381) - I had already done the second one to get the Vista PC to see the Terastation shares, anyway.

Anyone any experience with TVersity?
