Microsoft are abouts to piss off a lot of people

(not sure if this should be here or offtopic but

With halo 4 close to coming out, they've basically made it so you can't make money from their videos. Machinima etc etc. In changing the game content usage rules this means you can no longer make content resembling red vs blue and make money off of it.

Personally it doesn't really effect me, but well yeah.

I don't get what they are trying to do. But I think if you make a living by selling people your video game strategies, you would be in violation? Ten years ago the courts would have laughed that out, but today, with free speech being so poorly thought of...

Hrm.

The second part, while not an onerous request, should not be something that can be enforced with force of law (aka guns, etc.).

Just a standard "Illusion of choice" agreement. (Meaning if you chose no you cant use it so it creates the illusion you have a choice)

I did change the title from the pissing off people part, but doesn't seem to want to change.

I don't see a problem with this at all. I actually kind of like and prefer it.
