[QUOTE="Morrus, post: 223518, member: 1"] I thought I'd better mention this here. As some of you may know, I'm going to be supporting a NWN module archive here at EN World. Just to make it clear, this will be for ORIGINAL CONTENT ONLY. This means that it's NOT for conversions of old WotC/TSR modules or for conversions of Bluffside or your other favourite d20 locations. Not only that, but converting such a property and distributing it via these messageboards is also a big "No-No". Why? Well, I don't care what you do yourself. But *I* am not planning on finding myself liable for distribution of another companies intellectual propoerty, and I certainly don't plan on being on the end of any legal action WotC or any other company might take. And they will - they HAVE TO, because by law they must ACTIVELY protect their IP. It's not about being nasty, or trying to ruin anyone's day - it's about properties that these companies could LOSE if they don't actively protect them. So - to summarise - DON'T illegally distribute material via these boards. But feel free to distribute your own original content, and, if you want to, add it to the archive I'll be hosting. I'd like to support NWN as much as possible. [Incidentally, if a publisher gives me explicit permission to distribute a particular file or module that incorporates their IP, either here on the boards or in the archive, then that's OK. ] [/QUOTE]
