A freelance journalist working for GameFAQS has uploaded a video of himself opening his PS3 copy of GTA IV. He then holds a hand written piece of paper saying who he is.
Take a look. Hands up who thinks he’s out of a job by Monday.

Eh? Why on Earth would he get fired for that?

Sure that’s not just his GameFAQs username?

Regardless, it’s an entirely unexciting and unrevealing video of a guy removing shrink-wrap with a knife. He doesn’t even play the game! I can’t imagine Rockstar even bothering to get it removed.

I don’t know about that… I kinda have a thing for hands and shrink-wrap.

What you do at the weekends is your own business.

Sorry for the scarcity of updates. I’m at an EA thing all day, so fighting against the tide, tbh.

Careful they don’t hostile take-over your ass.
April 25th, 2008 at 2:28 pm
So wrong…

They pay people over at gameFAQs?

Rockstar always react positively about anything to do with GTA IV getting shown without their express permission.

What, even taking some shrinkwrap off a box? I can’t imagine that’s in any way a criminal offence. Unless he shot up the local GAME to get it.
April 25th, 2008 at 4:38 pm
Yes, even someone taking the shrink-wrap off a box.

“This video is no longer available due to a copyright claim by Take 2 Games”
Told you!!

Youtube… what a bunch of worthless wankers.
April 25th, 2008 at 8:05 pm
Yep. I bet Take Two’ve contacted Gamefaqs also.

I wish someone would tell them to f*ck off because they have no legal right to be claiming copyright infringement over a video of someone opening something they have bought.
April 25th, 2008 at 8:26 pm
They hadn’t bought it though, had they? If it was a Gamefaq freelance then the copy was sent to Gamefaq and they sent to him. So he hadn’t bought it.

Still, you can’t copyright the photons that entered the video camera to record someone opening a box.
