Rudy Giuliani to help in video game firm’s legal case against disgraced Panamanian dictator

Interesting read particularly in the context of Mr.Dartnell’s talk a few weeks ago regarding the legal implications of game-making (licensing, rights of tattoo artists, etc.).  With gaming graphics the way they are today, I only see these issues arising more often.

The article also makes reference to Lindsay Lohan, who is suing the makers of “Grand Theft Auto V” claiming a character in the game is based on her.
