Who here thinks that what NAMCO did is COMPLETELY unfair and that the project should be put back online, along with an apology to the user?

samurai768Also, I would strongly suggest making your own Pac-Man projects and uploading them.
I will do my best to get this mentioned on my town's TV station, as I work there.
Also sign here!
Add your pac-man projects to this gallery!

No, because we have a creative commons license and what about the fair use clause? It's not like nintendo going to go around deleting all the mario projects!

No, they did not. That was excessive, and there was no good reason. Just because someone made their own version as an exercise and put it up does not really mean they can get rid of it. The CODE is copyrighted, and this uses none of it.

But NAMCO isn't on the fair share thing. And nintendo isnt very strict. Good thing because half of the projects would be off here

Look at what andresmh said here:

It's great that you're doing something about this. You should try to think of reasons why that and other Pac-Man games can be considered Fair Use. Here is a video about Fair Use:

*sigh* you guys are bold. Really bold. But i read the entire like 9 page long copyright agreement related to fair use on the united states cipryright center. It states that their MUST be either tribute paid ($) and modified enough to not be called BASICLY EXACTLY like the origanol

they own the name pac man. you can't copyright ideas. you can patent some ideas, and even if things are patented, they can be recreated as long as it isn't for commercial use. as long as the sprites weren't taken from an actual namco pac man game, it should be perfectly legal to post a pac-man project.
