Last month Dutch gaming website GameCloud.nl was entirely devoted to gamecharacters. This month we dive into the world of developers, starting with everything you want to know about successful developer BioWare (famous for Mass Effect, Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic, Neverwinter Nights and Baldur's Gate!).

it's a good thing, but it's also long been reported, across a variety of industries and websites, that currently the system is ripe for and full of abuses. From fair use strikes, to matters like the one reported in this article. It's clear the law needs some tooth to punish bad actors and that parameters need to be set in how reports are filed; ie human review of said content and not some AI bot false flagging stuff. As is the system is far to easily abused by those who have motive to suppress and flag content they have no business or right to.
No system will ever be perfect, but there needs to be a review, unless it blatant.
Until there's genuine consequences for this type of abuse, it'll keep happening across all media. DMCA is in principle a good thing, but it needs an overhaul.
