I think you guys are ignorant to the realities of these clones, which is that you can't copyright an idea. The idea of a game where the balls rotate around and you shoot them? Nobody owns that, nor will they ever. I could never make a game called Zuma, nor could I use any of the specific words or phrases found therein, but if I wanted to make "Ooozmaugh!", 'the future of next gen spinny ball shooting games!' I could happily do so and Popcap would neither receive or deserve any of the profits from said title.

It's one of the broadest misunderstandings out there that these things are owned by the people who conceptualize them in the first place. To report on such a falsehood is just ignorant.
