The developers of Limbo of the Lost claim that they weren't aware the game had broken any copyright laws.

What kind of moron copypastas a prewritten paper and tries to pass it off as their own?

You've gotta rewrite the paper in your own words.. Then you're safe.

LOL. This is like claiming innocence while being caught in bed with someone else's wife. "We were just keeping warm! Honest!"

Hope they get grilled honestly.. May sound wrong to say so, but if you're so pathetic as to steal other people's work, and then lie about it saying it's yours.. you deserve nothing more.

I think the defendant will be let go and only be ordered to pay the legal fees of the plaintiff(s). No emotional or financial damages were committed, the way I see it, and so no penalty.

Be realistic: the only party to suffer any sort of consequence out of this whole furore is the development team of their time and humiliation.

Here I was thinking that the theft of content was so obvious that it had to be a hoax. I hope all those involved with this game get sued into utter poverty.
