They give a poo poo about it, it's attached to a game they own. If they didn't give a poo poo, they would've just said "yeah do whatever"

It's creative commons licensed. Why do they give a poo poo about some article about it? They'd only start to care if he tried to do something to limit their use.

It's probably creative commons licensed because a lawyer told him that there was no way in hell he'd win a legal fight to try and get more money for it. Mojang paid him to create it, it'd be a hard fight to argue that they couldn't use it.

Has the Freakonomics theory linking Roe V Wade and the 90's drop in crime been debunked or milkshake ducked? That was really compelling when I read it.

I know I’m late to this. That study was pretty trash. There were data problems (a full column was transposed, bringing the results into question) and it makes a lot of assumptions that we know not to be true like “There were no abortions when abortions were illegal.” Also, if 50% of the drop was due to fewer unwanted kids, then why did the crime rate drop in all demographic groups, not just 21 year olds? All of that is not to say that there is no effect, just that (like all Freakonomics chapters) it’s over-stated and over-confident.

Microsoft don't just refuse to pick up the phone like that because 'eh, not worth it'. They're absolutely stonewalling because it's the best way they've got to prevent word getting out that they don't actually own part of a game they own.

That’s nonsense. I’ve been part of the decision to “no comment” at a bunch of companies (some of them very large with big legal staffs and outside counsel), and the articles get published anyway. Sometimes they get published with “did not reply by press time” because the request came in 90 minutes before press time and it took PR longer than that to reach someone who actually knew what it was about.

If there was a chilling effect from MSFT, it involved more than “no comment”. You have to bring a much harder game than that, usually out of band, to stop someone from publishing an article that they’ve already gone to the trouble of having legal reviewed and fact checked.
