Guitar Hero World Tour Won't Allow Copyright Infringement 92
1Up did an interview with two of the developers for Guitar Hero: World Tour about the process of creating the game. One of the interesting things they mention is that they won't be putting up with people who use the song creation tools to make covers of existing songs. "We'll be actively monitoring the site. And, obviously, if the copyright holder complains, Activision will pull it down immediately. We can't condone people putting up covers of music. It's really there for original content." We discussed the creation tools themselves recently. Since then, Activision has announced that they'll be including a MIDI sequencer to assist with making your own tunes.

and maybe if they had talent they would be performing their own material.
the geek's notion of creativity seems to begin and end in imitation - when he writes, it's fan fiction. when he plays music, it's a cover.
give him a video camera and his first thought will be to recreate an episode of Star Trek: TOS.

Buy that man a beer! He deserves our gratitude for saving us from having to spend another five minutes listening to crappy bands like The Verve.

Actually my first thought with a video camera was to record the girl next-door. Then to immediately record me killing a black widow with a stun gun.
