Rockstar and Take Two Attack Copyright Law in Attempt to Get Legal Reverse Engineering Made Illegal

As it was recently reported, Rockstar and Take Two are working on re-releases of Grand Theft Auto 3, Vice City, and San Andreas. With their doing this, they do not like that a small group of programmers have clean room reverse engineered the game engine used for GTA 3 and Vice City, re-implementing it from scratch with bug fixes and support for new gaming devices like the Nintendo Switch.

In order to use their source code, you need to already own the games because it requires the game files from their installation media. This re-implementation will not work without them and the project developers do not distribute the files with it so not to run afoul of copyright law. This does not matter to Take Two or Rockstar though. They have decided to try to use bogus claims of copyright infringement to stop the distribution of the RE3 project where they see it as a threat to their cash grab re-releases that are in the works.

In this video we take a look at Take Two’s and Rockstar’s attempt to rollback copyright law by at least three decades to protect their doing this.
