With Paul Reiche III and Fred Ford having now disclosed evidence of their claims against Stardock and Star Control: Origins, it's clear that they are challenging infringement based on the "look and feel" of the game, rather than the component assets. Why should such a claim make the industry nervous? And just how can the DMCA be better drafted to prevent more spurious claims? Regardless of how you feel about Brad Wardell, Stardock, or Star Control, if you like games, or the game industry, this is a story you are going to want to follow closely.
