My E-mail to NAMCO

Dear Namco Bandai,

I’m sure that you are aware that many people have been angry at you for taking down a pac-man project on Scratch (scratch.mit.edu). Under normal circumstances, this would be fine. However, you do not send DCMA notices to the thousands of flash remakes of the same game. Also, Scratch is an educational site, and therefore should be exempted from such rules. A list of scratch members that support this can be found here.

Sincerely, [my name].


Soo.... Shall I send it? xD

Re: My E-mail to NAMCO

Good for you. Someone's actually doing something other than just ranting about it on Scratch and hoping that NAMCO will randomly trawl the forums and read it all XD

You shouldn't do that, because if they receive multiple emails about this at once, they might think this is spam.

Dear Namco Bandai,

However, you did not send DCMA notices to the hundreds of Flash remakes of the same game. Also, Scratch is an educational site, and therefore should be exempted from such rules.

I forgot to replace the last part  lol
Anyways, my sending name is my real name.
