Gibson sues Guitar Hero

(1/2) > >>

HaRuMaN:
CNN video

Ed_McCarron:
I hear that next they are going after anyone that air-guitars.

Dartful Dodger:
Didn't Guitar Hero sue some companies for making controllers that worked with Guitar Hero.  And on the ps3 Activision doesn't allow Guitar Hero's controllers work with Rockband.




What goes around comes around.

NiN^_^NiN:
They will be fine Gibson's patent if for a device simulating a guitar for leaning and lets face it pushing buttons on a guitar shaped controller isn't anywhere neer the scope of the patent.

shmokes:
The lamest part of it all is that Guitar Hero hasn't just been around for years, it's been around and Gibson's been collecting royalties for the licensed use of the Gibson axe it comes with.  They didn't bring the suit until Activision recently decided not to renew the Gibson license for the next Guitar Hero (I guess they'll use a different guitar).  What a bunch of cry babies.
