In The Groove to "respect" Dance Dance Revolution

Konami, publisher of Dance Dance Revolution, has settled a lawsuit with In The Groove's developer Roxor. With mighty samba moves and Euro Beat legal techniques, Konami now owns the intellectual property rights to In The Groove -- guess the games were a little too similar.

The best part of the agreement is that Roxor must agree to "respect Konami's intellectual property rights." Can you feel that pimp-slap Roxor?

Roxor may have been the developer of In The Groove, but Red Octane was the publisher. Red Octane is also the publisher of Harmonix's Guitar Hero, which shares similarities to Konami's GuitarFreak. RedOctane, owned by the Activision, may not have put up too much of a fight to lose In The Groove, but you know the nails are coming out if Konami's legal team goes after the infinitely more successful Guitar Hero. RedOctane may become better known for their legal issues than their games soon.
