ATLANTA – June 2, 2008 – GameTap, the first-of-its-kind broadband entertainment network from Turner Broadcasting System, Inc. (TBS, Inc.), announced today an expanded partnership with Interplay Entertainment Corp. (OTC BB: IPLY) that now includes multi-year worldwide rights for the company’s titles to be available for digital download in its online store and for subscription play. Under the new agreement, Interplay titles will also be made available for free play on GameTap’s ad-supported website www.gametap.com

“Interplay has been and continues to be a great partner of GameTap,” said Ricardo Sanchez, vice president of content and creative director for GameTap. “By expanding on our previous deal, GameTap will now feature more of Interplay’s top titles including their widely successful Fallout titles.”

As part of this expansive agreement, GameTap will now feature additional Interplay titles, including the critically acclaimed Fallout, DESCENT and MDK. New and previously featured titles, such as the Earthworm Jim series, will be added to the subscription service, GameTap’s ad-supported website, and also sold in GameTap’s online digital retail storefront.

Doesn't this mean that it's being sold again, and therefore less ethical to get for free?

 
I thought Descent's trademark had expired... :wtf:

Just checked: it did back in '02.

I assume that a trademark is different from a copyright... but I'm not sure how.

Trademark is different from a copyright, but I'm not sure how. Trademark seems to be on a specific word, phrase, or possibly a symbol (it probably says on wikipedia) while copyright applies to works of art. Or anything written/produced, for that matter.

But I can say that any copyright on Descent is going to last for a loooooong time and is certainly still in effect.

Yeah that was the only commercial I ever seen FreeSpace on.
