[QUOTE="Retreater, post: 8432655, member: 42040"] Sorry, but do you have a passing familiarity with US Copyright law? Any IP holder can demand you take down anything regardless of whether you make money off it or not. Doing something for no pay does not mean it's fair use. And even fair use is extremely limited and only in certain cases. Like you could cite fair use to quote a portion of a text or an image in a review if (and ONLY IF) that is what you're actively reviewing. So you can't just put images from the Pathfinder Core Rulebook in the background of a review, unless you are specifically discussing the qualities of a specific piece of art. So imagine you don't ask for money, but you upload the entirety of the Mwangi Expanse book? Does that hurt Paizo? You bet. Will they try to get it taken down - absolutely, the minute they find out about it. *I am not a lawyer, but I have studied copyright law in my day job as a librarian. [/QUOTE]
