Dear Webmaster,
It has come to our attention that your website, Destructoid.com <http://www.destructoid.com/>, has unauthorized postings of unreleased screenshots of Sega's copyrighted work, Sonic Unleashed ("Work"). The posting may be found at: http://www.destructoid.com/sonic-unleashed-screens-could-be-real-could-be-fake-frankly-i-don-t-care-now-77064.phtml.
As the copyright holder of the Work, Sega did not authorize the use of the Work in this manner, either via license or otherwise. Sega has a good faith belief that the use of the Work in this manner is not authorized by us (the copyright owner), any of our agents, or the law. Thus, Sega respectfully requests that you promptly remove this posting from Destructoid.com <http://www.destructoid.com/>. Please provide me with confirmation that the posting has been removed.
The information in this letter is accurate, and I declare under penalty of perjury that I am authorized to act on behalf of Sega's exclusive copyright in the Work that is being infringed.
If you would like to discuss this matter with me, I am quite happy to do so. Please contact me xxxx. Thank you for your prompt attention.
Best regards,
Senior Legal Counsel

Somebody over there doesn't understand new media. Not surprised.

Oh well. Best to cease and desist, and give some bad PR to Sega. Did they try asking you first? Because they could have done that without confirming that the pictures were real.

My theory is that the wave after wave of shitty sonic games was just to get everyone's expectations down for sonic unleashed, which will hopefully bring some respect back to the old icon.

So... Really, they are like shooting themselves in the foot.
But, I liked the Vagina analogy better.
