Paging Legal Department

Post by hoytdwow »

I love how the CC page footer says "Conquer Club is not associated with RISK online in any way."

but the window title bar says Play Risk Online Free

Hasbro didn't invent Risk. They themselves bought the rights to it and then brought it to America. In fact, I don't think any of the games it now owns originated there. Hasbro invented G.I. Joe and My Little Pony, but all their gaming properties are purchased.

I own a house, I didn't build the house I purchased the house. Someone thinks my house is amazing and builds a house identical or very similar. Regardless of whether I built the house or not. My house is being imitated.

This is one of reasons why Lackattack, back in the day, had the blurb start with "Risk all your troops in a daring landgrab" or something like that. Using Risk as a verb for SEO I think.

Was "landgrab" also used for SEO, too? Which came first, the slogan or the other site?
