It's retarded but there is some law that prohibits the use of their retarded red cross symbol for other purposes. Within the last year or two, a game I play had to slightly edit the appearance of an item that used the symbol. That item had been around for like 20 years with no issue previously....
Yes I had looked that up awhile back and I was amazed, it's even in human rights legislation. Originally it was put in to prevent hostile forces from misusing their symbol for infiltration purposes etc. but now the copyright trolls have gotten to it and they just randomly go after anyone that happens to have that particular shape and symbol on anything. It's almost bad as what Nintendo does, worse arguably because they're using human rights in order to justify it.

Did Team Fortress 2 get grandfathered in or is the medic's symbol just different enough to dodge this bull shit?
I suppose I could boot it up and play a spy for a bit, to try some of that "war crime action" they're bitching about now too.
