In reply to Gameloft used a fan copy/mod of existing copyrighted/commercial font in an upcoming game:
"Type designers just like to think" that their time, effort and expertise has value with which they should be able to make some of their living, which is perfectly reasonable and does not deserve such obnoxious hyperbole. Everything is a remix, but time and respect make worlds of difference. When Todd Goldman traces the work of relatively obscure living cartoonists and sells uncredited, unlicensed T-shirts of it at Hot Topic, we should not pretend that this is equivalent to John Williams echoing Gustav Holst in his score for Star Wars. There is a continuum between homage and ripoff, and the dividing line of what's acceptable is fuzzy but not extremely so.
