[QUOTE="barsoomcore, post: 1408655, member: 812"] For campaign websites, I'm not sure there's much need for alarm. Barsoom's website is a mess of copyright infringement to be sure, but I've never heard a peep out of anyone, and I don't expect to. The site exists solely for the benefit of my players and for my own personal amusement. There's no revenue being generated that the copyright owners might legitimately claim a chunk of, nor am I running around pretending to be a great artist because hey, look at all the pretty pictures. That said, it IS copyright infringement, it IS illegal, and anyone who wanted to could come after me for it. I'm reasonably confident that it won't happen because I'm reasonably confident nobody cares. If it does, I won't fight it, I'll just yank the picture and say I'm sorry. If they sue me for massive damages, well, good luck to them. My [url=http://www.12tomidnight.com/d20modernsrd/Home.php]Modern SRD site[/url] is a completely different kettle of fish. It's a public resource on the web and as such, I have to be very careful about how I present and license information. There are six images on the site (for the basic classes), and I was careful to give credit and a link to WotC. Their legal wolverines have seen the site and gave me a list of corrections to make which I did and everything's now okay. [/QUOTE]
