[QUOTE="teitan, post: 9021595, member: 3457"] Depends. Fair use actually is fairly broad. In the case of streaming your Curse Of Strahd campaign, they would need to take down everyone who streamed it without a contract or cite exactly why they are having your content removed. Fair use, since you are not actually reading the book word for word on the stream, would allow you to play it because it’s not a presentation of their copyrighted material but an interpretation of it for a game. Even the use of the names etc are covered under fair use. The reuse of the artwork if it’s done in a review, for example, is also fair use. These things are called out in the beginning of most books as ok to do but not reproducing the whole contents. So you can’t read the book, present the images to the corresponding page and upload it as a video. You can take the map of Strahd’s castle and interpret it into 3D as a file to be 3D printed and share that under the name “The Vampire’s Castle” etc. and some people have done just that and run kickstarters for those files as modular dungeon tiles. Due to the modular nature of 3D printed terrain it becomes a possible and “fair use” build with the pieces of the terrain. If you just rendered it as a single piece of terrain and sold it like Wizkids would, then you have a legal issue. Even with the dreaded GW fans are making their own battle reports and how to videos and reviews, presenting artwork and as long as they follow fair use GW hasn’t done a thing to those users and there are a lot of them. They even, just like WOTC, send them early product to help them hype. We aren’t in the days when TSR would sue you for having the word Dragon on your website. GW has a bad rap for suing a model company that was making models that recreated GW art and selling them as what that art represented. They don’t sue 3D printing, bits companies and fans for doing their own thing. They might have rules for their tournaments and stores about 3D printing but they’re also trying to sell product in their store. [/QUOTE]
