A student using MIT's Scratch programming language was served a DMCA notice for creating his own version of Pac-Man and was asked to remove his developed game from his website.
The notice said that the game "infringes Namco's rights by offering visitors the unauthorized use of infringing copies of the Pac-Man game product which is protected by copyright and trademark law. While we appreciate the educational nature of your enterprise and look forward to the contributions of the future programmers you are training, part of their education should include concern for the intellectual property of others."
Namco - heavy handed? or just protecting their IP?
