"what's the betting that Paramount's execs will wake up with horse heads in their beds?"

[horses]Headlines tomorrow: Thompson says games evil!

"Jack Thompson, never one to let the law or rationality get in his way, today declared that the game version of "The Godfather" inspired an otherwise innocent corporation such as Paramount to steal money from the bereaved son of a respected author."

Could essentially claiming the product as their own by not honouring this contract constitute a breach of copyright on the part of Paramount? MPAssA- unto the breach for good (for once)!

Mine's the one with "Forgive me, Don Puzo- I can't afford this month's royalty payments" on the back

maybe

Can you just eliminate all the future posts which refer to making an offer or horse's heads in beds?

(Or are we not allowed to discuss your business with you?)

Yep, as a wise man once said; "Only a fool steals with guns, the best thieves use the law."

"Only their fools steal with guns, while the best thieves make the laws."

But your comment still has a grain of truth! :)
