A church sues Resistance

[senjuro]

And copyright law is applicable in this situation

Such a copyright will only be effective if it was filed before the game was made.

If there is no proof of concent, which none of us are at present privvy to, then the case cannot be won by the computer game.

I disagree. It seems that the onus should be on the accuser to prove that consent was asked for and refused, rather than on Sony that consent was asked for and received. Proof of refusal should be just as easy to come up with as proof of consent, and if the church was interested in winning the case merely in the press release, that should've been more concretely mentioned. If the church has such a solid case, why is legal action only "considered" and not "ensured"? When it comes down to "He said, She said," I'd take the word of the industry over the word of a group of social alarmists anyday.

Also, it's dissapointing that the church is jumping on the Jack Thompson bandwagon by saying that it's irresponsible of the industry to posit scenarios of gun violence in a city plagued by gun violence, as if there is some kind of correlation between violence of any kind and video games.
