Patently Absurd

6 Indie Mistakes

The first link provides a partial view of the controversy regarding software patents, and the kind of litigious environment a small company / startup can face. While Gary Reback's views should be taken with a pinch of salt, since he is very much anti-Microsoft (and anti-patent), some of them are still valid.

The second link is more interesting if you're into game development or considering a career in it. While I don't fall into that category and am not particularly inclined towards it at the moment, it still makes for interesting reading.

Tangential to the original post, but following the Hot Coffee controversy, I'm reading in places that some people are suggesting game companies sue modders for modding, and I'm not just talking about nude scenes.

Potential for a minor controversy here? :P
