Gamers in Australia are facing the possibility of having Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 banned in their country (via AU GameStop). Australia's equivalent of Jack Thompson, Attorney General Michael Atkinson, has said in a radio interview that he plans to appeal the Australian Classification Board's decision to give the game an MA15+ rating. Left 4 Dead 2 recently had to be redesigned to even make it onto Australian store shelves, and if Modern Warfare 2's rating is pulled, it may face a similar fate. Atkinson distrusts the Australian Classification Board, accusing the Board of trying to, "get games in under the radar," and feels the rating for Modern Warfare 2 is simply, "wrong." In his own words, "I worry about any game that encourages gamers to perpetuate extreme violence and cruelty on screen, but this game allows players to be virtual terrorists and gain points by massacring civilians." This also leads him to mistrust game developers: "...expecting game designers to be responsible by not glorifying terrorism will always lead to disappointment." Though Atkinson believes the rating for Modern Warfare 2 is too low, he's also been the biggest obstacle in allowing an additional higher rating to be created (for example, an 18+ rating). The Australian Classification Board had no comment concerning Atkinson's accusations.

In response to a possible class action lawsuit resulting from a recent round of Xbox Live bans, Microsoft has now asserted the legality of its position. A spokesperson has told the Financial Post that piracy is a violation of the company's terms of use and that Microsoft is "well within its legal rights" to ban users from its Xbox Live. It was reported earlier this month that the law firm AlbingtonIP is "investigating" the possibility of a class action lawsuit against Microsoft over the bans. The firm argues that timing of the bans -- shortly after the release of Halo 3: ODST and just prior to the launch of Modern Warfare 2 -- was designed to get as much money from Xbox Live subscriptions as possible. In other words, the firm believes that Microsoft personally waited for a time when many people -- modders in this case -- would be purchasing Live subscriptions for popular games -- money that probably wouldn't be refunded after a ban. Joystiq's Law of the Game columnist, Mark Methenitis, classified the suit as a likely "cash grab," explaining that anyone savvy enough to mod an Xbox would know to stay well away from Xbox Live. We might add that major releases, like ODST and Modern Warfare 2, are the biggest targets for piracy, and likely correspond with rises in illegal downloads. And that just might have something to do with the timing of the bans in question.
