Nintendo & Imagine Media

21
Damn, someone beat me to it. Joystick101 is running a story on what the guys at DailyRadar have been up to trying to skew the facts behind Imagine Media's recent legal tanglings with Nintendo. Imagine Media is selling a book in stores with Pokemon characters all over it without the permission of Nintendo. DailyRadar is owned by Imagine Media.

So, Daily Radar steps in and makes a big fuss about being attacked by the giant Nintendo, but in the law suit, the name Daily Radar is neither mentioned or implied. This isn’t about the use of their screenshots in reviews or other Nintendo coverage. Each day, they’ve been posting a new rant about the lawsuit here [ed: link removed]. They have been asking their readers to send letters to Nintendo’s president and to flood them with email. They claim that Nintendo is infringing on their rights to 'fair use'...

What is also interesting is that this isnt the first time.. here is a report on a situation nearly identical last August. Hmmm... Thanks JayZee, for all 8 emails :)

Steve Gibson is the cofounder of Shacknews.com. Originally known as sCary's Quakeholio back in 1996, Steve is now President of Gearbox Publishing after selling Shacknews to GameFly in 2009.
