[The makers of Grand Theft Auto
(GTA) are suing the BBC over an
upcoming drama based on the
development of the
popular video game series.
Take-Two Interactive,
the parent company of
UK-based Rockstar Games,
has filed the lawsuit for
trademark infringement.
The one-off drama is called
Game Changer and features
Harry Potter star Daniel Radcliffe
as Rockstar president Sam Houser.
The feature will coincide with
a series of BBC programmes
on the theme of computer coding.
The show is based around
the creation of the game
and the controversy surrounding
its violent content.]



Why the feck is BBCAmerica not asking Rockstar
for permission and paying for it?

Very amateur of BBC not to make a show based around an IP without contacting the owners of the IP. They deserve the lawsuit if they cannot be bothered to even work with Rockstar to resolve the issue.

If you don't want to ****ing pay for the permission to do something like this, it should deservedly bite you in the arse. BBC being idiotic again.
