I think you mean Petition, not Partitian.
You have acquired the skill of Weaponry Theremin.
Your current level of mastery is 10 Apprentice.

well those partitions don't always work.
in fact some reguard partitiononline as spam.
I do fill it out if it suits me but we rarely hit it off.
yeah josh you have the determination to make something work.
but it won't.
we don't have the firepower or the defence.

The fact remains that you'll be using their sounds illegally, their
characters and plot lines illegally, as well as infringing on anything
else they can possibly have copyrighted if you've done a credible job
at immitating the original. I know just enough about programming and
more than enough about copyright from my music and audio work to know
that that's a hell of a lot of time to spend on a project that
wouldn't ever in a gazillian years hold any water with any big games
manufacturer.
Love your enthusiasm Josh, but the inescapable fact here is that
legally, our hands are tied too tightly to make this route feasible,
and unfortunately their simply aren't enough of us to bombard and make
a splash in the bath of a multinational games company that might make
them look up from whatever they happen to be doing in the afore
mentioned bath and wonder who's hopped in with them. Excuse the
random analogy, writing the same point over and over requires some
innovation.
Perhaps, the closest you could get to bombardment constructively would
be to organise the mother of all petitions and send it around a few
places once you've got every signiture possible. We'd be talking a
fairly big job. Before it'd even be considered, what we were actually
asking for would have to be realistic, very well worded, and boy would
it have to have a serious amount of signitories. I'm not talking
"make games accessible soon ish or we'll be cross", I'm talking about
figuring out the very first rudimentary improvements that need to be
made in order to give us a tiny handhold, baby steps I suppose is the
expression. I'm not too bad with words, but don't have nearly enough
knowledge to know what to ask for, or even if there's anything we
could ask for that would actually help.
Of course, if that turns out to be a pants idea, the best thing you
can do with your enthusiasm Josh is settle to learning a language and
start putting out your own stuff. Apparently it's quite rewarding.

Hi,
ok here's an idea.
first rip the audio/sounds from mainstream games. and then make an audio
game using the mainstream comany's sounds. and then don't selol the
game,
make it free but keep the source code. then when the mainstream
companies
come round with their cease and desist letter. make a deal with them.
tell
them I'll give you the code to my game if you'll sell it. once you
complete
the game, don't give it out to anybody you see, kep the game and the
source
code, then email the company whose game it was originally and tell them
you
made their game accessible pinting them to a website nobody else knows
about
so they can download the game. Tell them if they do not agree to sell
your
game that you made with their idea their original title, their sounds,
you
will release the game as free open source software under the general
public
license. And since they are driven by making money they naturally will
want
the code. and if they renig on their part by noot selling it then you
immediately release that game as open source. to differentiate it from
sighted games put the word accessible in front such as accessible harry
potter and the half blood prince game or accessible madden nfl.
