Erling Andersen is one huge Fallout fan. He created the site Fallout-Posters.com, which offers fan-made Fallout-style posters available for download. Unfortunately, Bethesda’s lawyers weren’t happy about this. Bethesda lawyers have contacted Anderson, asking for the site to be taken down. This is what Andersen had to say about it: Now, I’m not out looking for trouble. I set up the website out of pure ‘fandom’, and the last thing I wanted – or expected – was to be threatened with a lawsuit by Bethesda. What pisses me off isn’t the fact that they’re looking out for their trademark – as they have every right to do so. What I’m pissed about are large companies abusing their monetary power, hiring global law firms to go after a fan online, immediately threating with a lawsuit.Had they had the slightest bit of PR-savyness, they would have shot me a quick personal mail asking me to remove the (supposed) infringing content – and preferably sent me some nice Fallout-swag as a nice gesture (yes, I am that corrupt).
