Gibson Sues Over Guitar Hero
Guitar maker Gibson is suing MTV Networks and Electronic Arts, stating that the company has not been paid for a patent it owns for virtual guitar playing. What do you think?

"Finally, the name Gibson will be synonymous with fake guitars."
Tim Bradley,

"Now that I think of it, Capcom never paid me a dime for the patent I hold for virtual street fighting."
