• Silicon Knights Scoffs at Epic's Legal Motion

  2007-09-15 06:04:24

  In the legal game of ping pong that is the suit between Silicon Knights and Epic Games, the last volley was a counterclaim and a motion to dismiss from Epic. Epic's paperwork alleged that Silicon Knights'accusations were "lacking in factual or legal merit." SK's original claim against Epic basically said that Epic willfully "sabotaged" games using Unreal Engine 3, using money it got from selling the license to fund development of Gears of War. Epic argued that sabotaging its own licensees would end up costing the company money in the long run, and therefore made no sense. Silicon Knights scoffed at that argument, saying: Epic's assertion that it has 'a vested interest' in Silicon Knights' success and continued use of the Engine is far-fetched, at best. The profits Epic assured for itself by having Gears of War as the marquee title for the Xbox 360 dwarf any gain Epic would receive from Silicon Knights purchasing a subsequent licenses for the Engine.It's only going to get uglier fro

• Silicon Knights To Epic: Our Claim Is Bigger Than Your Claim

  A few weeks back, Silicon Knights sued Epic over its Unreal Engine 3 licensing agreement. In the suit SK alleged that Epic did not deliver workable game code when it was promised, effectively sabotaging the development of Too Human. SK is seeking a clean break from its agreement with Epic as well as damages to compensate for the time and expense of building its own game engine. According to GameDaily BIZ, Epic has filed a counterclaim stating that it has done nothing wrong and that SK is in fact trying to steal Epic’s engine technology to build its own: This lawsuit is a cynical effort by SK to unlawfully enrich itself at the expense of Epic Games… After having exploited Epic’s intellectual property to its advantage, SK now seeks to renege on its payment obligations… Epic is seeking injunctive relief, compensatory damages “in excess of $650,000” and the destruction of infringing goods. GameDaily BIZ spoke to SK’s attorney Chris Holland who commented: We don’t think E
• Poor Knights Dolphins

  The Poor Knights Islands are a small group of unihabited islands about 12 miles off the northern coast of New Zealand. They were designated as New Zealand's second marine reserve in 1981, and managed by the Department of Conservation. Permits are needed to land (usually only granted for scientific research purposes), but there are several tourist operations that conduct scuba dive operations. The Poor Knights is reckoned to be one of the top ten dive locations in the world.Schools of bottlenosed dolphins(Tursiops truncatus) and common dolphins (Delphinus delphis) can be seen feeding on shoals of fish, which they may well have herded to the surface, in this location. The general surface commotion which ensues, attracts flocks of seabirds - mostly southern black backed and red billed gulls. Herding behaviour has been seen in both species, as well as dusky, spinner, white-beaked and spotted dolphins.The common dolphin has 180 teeth in its jaw which it uses to hold the fish fast while it i
