And yes, it feels so good, after what those bastiches did to.... damn what was it... maybe that Aliens Quake mod... I forgot. Maybe something else. Oh yeah! The AvP player-made movie! Oh well, they said they were making their own afterwards....
What makes you say that? Did it just seem like a nice thing to say at the spur of the moment? Has Fox ever done something greedy to you? One of your friends? What kind of company is not greedy? They are there to make money, not cater to your every whim or something. They have to make money, that's the point.
This was posted 7 days ago so I'm sure most of you have seen it:
"The camps for both AvP: Natural Selection and AvP for the Gameboy Advance are also remaining silent, with neither title having yet been officially announced by their respective publishers (Electronic Arts & UbiSoft). This may be - and probably is - disheartening to most, since these are the only two known titles still on the horizon - and neither of them will grace the PC-owning crowd."

Um... I think they're working on an AvP movie.... It's directed by the guy who directed Event Horizon, Resident Evil, Mortal Kombat I & II (ugh), and Soldier. Let's hope it's good.
Wtf are you people talking about? Yeah they were going to call it natural selection. So what. Flayra copyrighted the name so they couldn't use it. Fox is a good channel, and has some good #### on it. Without fox we wouldn't have movies like the predator or alien. Jeez you're all so ungrateful. Then you act like they only do it to make money and they don't care what's on. When they do care what's on even if it's only to get money.
Then Darwin's reanimated zombie comes back from the grave, foxes both NS -and- Fox, then makes his own first person shooter/RTS hybrid. After that, it becomes the best game in history, and to celebrate, he goes on tour through the bible belt, beating up Creationists as he goes.
I think the problem that many people have with Fox is that they've shut down a mod or 3. Fox doesn't like it when people base a game on their movies, fearing that it will reduce the playerbase for any future game based on that movie that they'd want to bring out themselves.
rip off mod <!--emo&:p--><img src="http://www.natural-selection.org/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/tounge.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':p'><!--endemo-->. It will never get released.
OK, I'm not sure where you guys get your information but...
First of all, you don't "get a copyright". A copyright always protects your work, and you don't ever have to apply for one, nor can you without it's protection. If you create something, you implicitly have the copyright for it.
As far as the "Natural Selection" name goes, that has to be trademarked, in the form of a product. It would've been stupid for them to try to use this name, as I already owned the trademark, but whether or not this is the reason they changed the name, I don't know.
Implicit copyright works well if you are able to come up with concrete proof that you created the work, which is not always easy.
To eliminate court hassles of proving that you are the creator, one may do something as simple as registering it with the U.S. Copyright Office (pay a nominal fee and send a printout or media containing copyrighted work).

hey wait one moment, u all seen the alien movies?? and which company is as greedy as fox??? WEYLAND YUTANI!!!

hihi a group of ppl makes the company change the name of a product, a real big company... the change of the name must cost the 500,000$ hihihi
