Marvel has signed with Microsoft to let MS use their characters in an Xbox
360 MMOG. Maybe now they'll go away and quit bothering us.

They're more likley rushing a game out the door before the novelty of
superhero games entirely wears off.

Yep. And I'll be waiting for the novelty of Superhero comicbooks to
wear off...
...could be in about 75 years...

The *novelty* of superhero comics wore off over 50 years agi. maybe 60.

The genre is still *popular* however.

What about the ability to read basic USENET postings?

Twice now, I've posted the words I got from one of America's
pre-eminent IP lawyers, the fellow who argued an IP case before the
Supreme Court. Larry Lessig wrote:

Also, note this article from another lawyer about the legality of
click-through EULAs...

I seem to recall the one time you responded directly to it, you didn't
even bother to address any of the points that were raised in it. I
wonder if you even actually *read* it at all. You just reiterated
your old arguments, starting with the words "I'm no legal expert
[...], but..."

If you're "no legal expert," perhaps you should leave the
law-interpreting and mouth-frothing to the people who are.
