Honestly, if the footage is the original I feel the family should have a right to demand the footage be removed. I also feel the same should be true if the footage is being used in any media outlet. The news can report on the story but the images should be treated differently.

Most family's would have no problem with such a video being used by legitimate media sources in the event of an investigation. Video can be valuable in solving a crime and any lack of notification by the family should suffice as permission.

If however the family asks that the footage in a crime not be shown I feel it is within their right. This footage being used by a video game is exploitation of a tragic event and I suspect would result in damages.

I suggest the family hire Jackie Chiles to pursue the video game company.
