Duke Nukem Is POOP!

by Steve Gibson, May 31, 2000 3:29pm PDT

A few people sent in this article that showed up on PlanetCrap and then made its way over to Slashdot raising a big flame war over the legal agreement that 3Drealms has on their website. I felt it was basic people misinterpreting legal papers that they dont understand and wasnt a big deal. Well BluesNews got an email from Scott Miller of 3DR confirming it:

... We might need to make it more clear that reviews are--of course!--not what concern us (nor could we legally prevent negative reviews--that's patently absurd). It's a web site using our logos next to overly foul, abusive, racist, etc. language or art. For example, we would not allow our logos to be used on a porn site. <snip>
So thats it, they arent blocking negative reviews, simply protecting themselves from people using trademarked 3DR stuff on 'Duke Nukem is POOP!' t-shirts. 7pm update: Scott Miller made this post clarifying further the situation, and also has some choice words for Slashdot.
