Unhappy Lawsuits....allover.

Quote:
Take Two Interactive is facing some new lawsuits over their Grad Theft Auto series, made by Take Two's Rockstar Games studios.

The First suit comes from the family of one of the victims of two teenage boys who fired a rifle into traffic on a highway in Tennesee. The boys claimed they were inspired by the sniper mode in Grand Theft Auto. The shooters killed one person, and injured another.

The family of one of the victims has now filed suit against Take Two Interactive over the boys' shootings.

The other new lawsuit comes from a graffiti artist who claims Rockstar used his grafitti without his permission in their Grand Theft Auto games.

The graffiti artsit, known as Daze, claims that Rockstar used his artwork as some of the grafitti seen in the recent PlayStation 2 games Grand Theft Auto III and Grand Theft Auto Vice City.
Now, I think those kids are idiots...... thats all, its the parent's fault that they didn't teach them whats right and wrong.

As for DAZE......what an a/hole. I mean he just wants to make money out of it.

I even heard...the EX OLD WCW Wrestler "MAXX PAYNEE" is sueing Rockstar too, for using his name to publicity. YEAH, thats what ROCKSTAR needs, an X pathetic Wrestler to "UP" the sales for a game.

There are way too many SAD people on this planet.
