Ah yes, copyright law taken to it's illogical conclusion. Thanks WMG, now I can't watch this documentary. Frankly I couldn't give a flying fuck about Joe Walsh, and neither could anyone else by the looks of it.

Are we going to see "Pud Pud" on XBLA anytime soon? hehehe... This is programe is both insightful and amusing, kudos for posting.

Oh anther case of WMG being the fucking corporate nazis they are. EVERTHING is being scrutinised and crushed by them. Its absolute bullshit!

BTW really interesting documentary. Doubt ive ever played any of those games shown though.
