BungieWell here's a very cheerful bit of news we saw at Bungie's site. This of course is related to the Halo 3 content that is set to be released in several gaming magazines. Here's what bungie says:

A word of advice and another word of warning.

These magazines are copyrighted material and are available to their subscribers and people who purchase the magazine. Scanning images, posting those images, scanning or posting transcriptions of the articles is a violation of the magazine's copyright and ownership of the material.

Anyone posting scans or text from these magazines will be permanently blacklisted from this site.  No other warnings, no appeals, nothing.

...Bungie.Net cannot and will not be a part of people intentionally violating copyright and ownership laws.  Anyone who uses this site for that purpose is not a friend nor a fan of Bungie or this community.


Okay, fair enough. No scans at Bungie's site then. Oh well...

In the age of Kazaa and hundreds of torrent sites, Bungie posts this thinking it will prevent people from posting scans of Bungie's oh-so precious game. I can understand if the Halo 3 game leaked down the road, but it's just random scans. Most people will buy the magazines anyway. I hope QJ posts the scans, but if not I understand. There are plenty of boards who will post it anyway who don't care to get "BLACKLISTED OMGOMG!"
