So i have a quick question... and i hope to god im wrong about this but are we not allowed to make a map based off a movie, show etc? for instance would a Dragonball Z map be considered illegal?
becuase reusing something thats been done 10000x on a show thats had game spoofs done 10000x is killing inspiration
Bring on the fresh ideas!
Great way to see a positive in a negative. I think the new copyright crap is, well, crap. Napster already showed that the current copyright laws are not capable of serving modern nations.
However, one has to ask oneself whether or not Blizzard should be the one trying to change the laws. The answer is quite obvious: no. We should.
Indeed. When you do stuff based on a movie or something, it kills your own ability to produce fresh and juicy ideas. And by the way those ideas give you lot of inspiration to work with by themselves.
The campaign I am working at right now was originally based on a movie, but after all I have decided that it limits my creativity immensely! So... now I AM the one who makes copyrighted stuff :D
