[casual_games] It's about time!

[Thomas H. Buscaglia]

Way to go Bizzare for enforcing your IP rights 
against clones of their great game.  It's about 
time that indies who create original IP stand up 
to the blatant copycat BS that seems to be so 
acceptable in the casual market place. These is a 
big difference between being inspired and 
influenced by a game and simply stealing it.  And 
anyone who says there is not is just diluting 
themselves.  This epidemic can and should be stopped.

I hope that their show of some real backbone catches on.  It is long over due!
