Machinima falls victim to Culture Mafia

Topic: Notes
From http://www.rpgfilms.net:
RPGFilms was a website that hosted tons of machinima videos made with
video-game engines. One popular machinima genre is the music video, in
which a machinima artist synchs action recorded from a game to a piece
of popular music.
Now the Recording Industry Association of America has had RPGFlims shut
down because they argue that these "songs files" (not MP3s you
understand, but humorous videos made by fans who in no way substitute
for purchasing the songs) infringe their members' copyrights.
Update: It seems something strange is afoot here. Perhaps we'll get to the bottom of this soon.
