a smart defence lawyer could have fun with this. where exactly IS the copyright infringing game when gaming is in-progress - on the kindle, or on the server, or half & half....

On the server. No doubt about it.

If you're worried about breaching copyright, play the free games at the Interactive Fiction archive. All the games that are written in the Inform language will run on the same interpreters that will play the Infocom games. There are tons of them - far more than Infocom ever released - and some of them are exceptionally good.

For those complaining that the kindle shouldn't play games, it might interest some to know that these types of games were originally targeted to people who like to read (in other words, they were sold in bookstores) which is partly the reason why they did so well.
Thanks wikipedia!! ha ha! |
