  1. So either Horace's creator finally came out of hiding or came back from the dead & decides to attack Octav1us's youtube channel with several copyright strikes. What the actual fuck? :mad:

      Yeah, William Tang has nothing to do with this. Apparently Melbourne House games used to be owned by Infogrames (Atari SA) but now have been transferred to Subvert Ltd / Subversive unless that is a dormant company and things are even shadier than they look. I read some kind of apology from Paul Andrews though, it looks like an aftermath cover up story.

      Oh, it is more than Horace. Paul Andrews has issued takedown notes against World of Spectrum for Automata content, addressing the ISP directly instead of the site admin and even sending mail to the admin's girlfriend (!!) who has nothing to do with WoS. Paul has also been tagged for buying trademarks and then attacking the official owners of the IP with threats. Sounds like one big mess cooking, and almost makes Atari SA look like good guys in comparison...

      I found a bit more of it here in this UK game forum. Paul Andrews definitely seems like garbage, even when saying he didn't mean to invoke a copyright strike. Can't tell if he's  stupid malicious (remember the Cardillo-Coleco dust-up?) or just plain malicious, but I wouldn't want anything to do with him.
