If you're not familiar - Game Workshop has decided it now owns the words "space marine" and is taking action against people using the term.
The best part of the whole thing, though, is this editorial from Games Workshop's magazine White Dwarf, issue #5, in February 1978, written by co-founder Ian Livingstone himself, railing against over strict enforcement of copyright laws and the damage that does to the consumer. Enjoy! (Note that Ian Livingstone and Steve Jackson have not been with GW for many years). While it probably doesn't qualify as "ironic" (unless in an Alanis Morissette sense), I think it does qualify as "amusing".
