You've said already you haven't read the book, nor played the game. Neither have I. I have read the entire 42 page Complaint for Copyright Infringement, and if you were to even skim over it, you may come to the same conclusion - that this case is more that one of Ubisoft story writers being "inspired by" another work, but seemingly outright theft and open plagiarism.

Consider checking the facts before your next reply. Also, I wasn't aware I could come to Germany, steal another author's published story and make my own book/game/movie out of it without worry that he could take legal action, or demand compensation. I would assume such a strict country would have some kind of laws protecting against fraud and theft of publication and art.]]> noauthor@nospam.com (SemlerPDX =VG=) Fri, 20 Apr 2012 00:52:00 -0700 http://www.veterans-gaming.com/comment.php?comment.news.119 http://www.veterans-gaming.com/comment.php?comment.news.119 anyway, arent thought free to roam the planet?
i havent played the games and i havent read the book...
i just dont think they stole the ideas. maybe someone from the dev-team read the book years before and subconsciously put some of those ideas into the game.

should the ancestors of some prophet who lived 2000 years ago sue the USA for inventing tanks, just because he told about those?

I did find out, however, that they are a company that authors can go to when their book would otherwise be rejected by larger, more well known publishing houses. They confirmed that they would not deny any book publishing request provided that the author paid them the appropriate fees. This author did in fact maintain and secure a copyright for his work, and it is eerily close to the storyline of Assassin's Creed.

I can assure you that the US does take copyright infringement very seriously, and through cooperation with Interpol, so does Germany. I have never seen a more clear cut case of plagiarism, personally, but that is really up to the jury to decide.

Read the complaint yourself and see what you think about these similarities...]]> noauthor@nospam.com (SemlerPDX =VG=) Thu, 19 Apr 2012 00:36:58 -0700 http://www.veterans-gaming.com/comment.php?comment.news.119
