apparently Hasbro, owner of Parker Brothers, publishers of Monopoly, is suing the producers of Ghettopoly for trademark violations. Apparenly in addition to publishing a vile, racist game, they also neglected to get permission from Hasbro before ripping off their classic.

Go to jail, do not pass go, and do not collect £200. Instead, face huge phat legal expenses and copyright damages.

Well, I don't know about localization in England, but the Russian version of monopoly I have does, indeed, have Moscow street names in it.
That's just wrong .
Anyway I made a thread about this on the OT a month or so ago and EVERYONE (right, left) was at it. Funny stuff .“I give you a new commandment, that you love one another. Just as I have loved you, you also should love one another. By this everyone will know that you are my disciples, if you have love for one another.”
- John 13:34-35 (NRSV)

Monopoly has been transported to many many countries using their own cities.
So if its say a london version, i got no problem with pass go collect 200 Sterling - or even pass go collect 200 euros - I was thinking that like here, you have a standard version that keeps the original Atlantic City names, but that the currency is localized. Now THAT would be a travesty i think."A person cannot approach the divine by reaching beyond the human. To become human, is what this individual person, has been created for.” Martin Buber
