There is a MUD (multi-user dimension) game, where the owner of the game says that an unauthorized forum that discusses his game is in violation of his copyright.
The forum doesn't post any direct copies of things in the game onto their site, but does refer to the game, and answers user's questions about how to do certain things within the game. Because the owner of the site doesn't want this information available, he says the forum is violating his "intellectual property." The moderators of the forum say they are within their 1st amendment rights to free speech, because they are simply discussing the game in question.
I was wondering if there were any ideas as to who is right in this debate.
