Axl Rose Sues Activision For $20M Because Guitar Hero Shows Former GNR Guitarist Slash

As reported by Mike Masnick on Techdirt:

Axl Rose Sues Activision For $20M Because Guitar Hero Shows Former GNR Guitarist Slash

from the that’s-some-mighty-impressive-hatred dept

How much does Guns ‘N Roses singer Axl Rose hate former guitarist Slash? So much that he’s suing Activision for $20 million because Activision included a virtual version of Slash in the latest version of Guitar Hero, despite claimed promises not to do so. While the likelihood of success may depend on contract specifics, it does seem rather silly to care about this. The claim that “This lawsuit is about protecting Guns N’ Roses,” is obviously bogus. There is nothing about “protecting” involved here.

The Center for the Study of Innovative Freedom (C4SIF) is dedicated to building public awareness of the manner in which so-called “intellectual property” (IP) laws and policies impede innovation, creativity, communication, learning, knowledge, emulation, and information sharing. We are for property rights, free markets, competition, commerce, cooperation, and the voluntary sharing of knowledge, and oppose IP laws, which systematically impede or hamper innovation. IP law should be completely and immediately abolished.

We provide news commentary and analysis and scholarly resources from our unique pro-property, pro-market, pro-innovation perspective.
