Also, if I remember correctly they specifically have an exemption to the exemption for MMOs.  Meaning, MMOs don't fall under the exemptions for abandoned software.  Whether that relates to the Paragon Chat or not, I'm not sure.  They had specifically mentioned that MMOs themselves aren't exempted, because the majority of the data resides on the servers.  In the case of the Chat client though, the data exists with the client, so it might actually fall under the exemption.

As far as Cox falling under the abandoned category, for the purposes of these exemptions, if it were not an MMO it would qualify.  Any games that require authentication to play, but that authentication method is no longer operating, would count.  Technically, they were talking about authentication for DRM, but for an MMO, the authentication is essentially the DRM mechanism.  Like I said before though, pretty sure the exemptions specifically exclude MMOs.

you're like Sherlock Holmes without the violin and the copious amounts of cocaine. well without the violin anyway.

This is like saying Peter Dinklage is like Godzilla but without the tail.

And here i thought it was just a nice way of saying 'your supposed detective work suggests drug-induced paranoia.'

Dunno about Godzilla - but Dinklage has a look-a-like who was a backup dancer in a song about Paedophiles in 1981.
And yes - that look-a-like was also 3ft tall.

An Oingo Boingo reference! Amazing! Didn't think too many people even knew about them. I myself only got into their music because of a Morrowind mod, about a decade and a half after they broke up.

It's the right time of year to play 'Dead Man's Party'!

I first heard about Oingo Boingo because "Insects" was featured on an episode of Dr. Demento back in the 1980s.

It wasn't until much later I learned that Danny Elfman was the frontman for that band.  (At the time I first heard "Insects", I wouldn't have known who Danny Elfman was)

http://ninja.lhost.de/wiki/index.php/2008-08-09_Death_Puppet_5 Didn't want to fight my phone trying to find this image in the comic's actual archive, but... Also, I seem to recall Something Positive having lyrics of Oingo Boingo songs in the the title space of a few of the later comic's, but it's been since I've read either of them.

That performance is exactly how I always envisioned my dissertation defense.

They had a pushover panel though. No way Jaye P. Morgan or Charles Nelson Riley are giving those scores. And Nipsey Russell would have gonged them because they already took the only thing that rhymes with boingo so he'd have had nothing to say.

Why do I feel like I am registered on something for just watching that video? Anywho, I never realized Oingo Boingo did so many songs I liked (Dead Mans party is awesome).

I know i've said this earlier in this thread(not sure when :P) but wow!, this has been going on for about a year...that's insane considering how quick things went.
First: We formulated the plan, then next thing I know(from what I've read in the time-line and can conclude) their talking to the person(or persons) that are needed for the 'yes' to sale...that's pretty quick for negotiations if you ask me(having no idea of standard timelines)  :o, I honestly think they want this over with and out the door soon   :o

Movie Weird Science was my first intro to Oingo Boingo but Kelly Lebrock always had my attention.

OK, I am going on vacation for three weeks. I expect to get my game back by then. :P

Fanta

Clearly you have no faith in the game coming back in the near future. Who would use that much vacation time anticipating getting to play again. :D
I am an ass, but don't we all love a good ass!
