Vivendi Barred From Distributing Valve Games in Cyber Cafes
Categories: Decisions • Distribution Agmt Cases • Police Actions • Publisher/Developer Cases
Judge Zilly ruled that Sierra/Vivendi Universal Games are not authorized to distribute Valve games through cyber cafés to end users for pay-to-play activities pursuant to the parties' current publishing agreement. Valve games such as Counter-Strike, Counter-Strike: Condition Zero and the recently released Half-Life 2 and Counter-Strike: Source are all popular in cyber cafés. Judge Zilly also ruled in favor of the Valve motion regarding the contractual limitation of liability, allowing Valve to recover copyright damages for any infringement without regard to the publishing agreement's limitation of liability clause
