Abyhsen Squeegor	As far as I know there had already been a legal case between SWC and LucasArts, but it got sorted out and SWC is now accepted as long as it generates no revenue

Kendall Holm	Lucas Arts will usually only attack people making money off anything that resembles anything in their databases. For instance if you make a painting of a ship that resembles an X-Wing but isnt an X-wing and they catch wind you are trying to sell the painting they will go after you but since we make no profit of this game they are not interested in us ____________

Lonck Deignio	Is it possible to contact them, or would they just contact me if i started up a game?

Kendall Holm	They will contact you ... or a lawyer will. ____________

Lonck Deignio	I really want to make my own game, however I really don't want any trouble with LL or the law. Is there anyone on SWC who can put me in contact with a representative of LL so I can preemptively meet the issue without a court case?

Shuji Shizuka	I believe that SWC prefers to stay out of Lucas' sights as much as possible. We only exist because we are strictly non-for-profit, but that doesn't mean that Lucas can't crush us if he so chooses. ____________ This user is currently in the process of moving, and so is semi-inactive.

Jesfa	Debatable. As per contacting LL, I'm sure they have a "Contact Us" of somekind over on LucasArts site. ____________

Abyhsen Squeegor	And even then, they could change their stance on the whim. Because it's their copyright.

Lonck Deignio	I shouldn't get into trouble if my game is private, should I? Cuase i think i'm just gonna invite friends of mine to play

John Avian	If you're interested in making your own game, there's two things you ought to know: 1) If they never hear about it, nothing will ever go down. Ergo, if it's only between yourself and your friends, you shouldn't run into any resistance from anywhere. 2) If the game was created by and for yourself and your friends and you (plural) aren't making any money off of it at all, no court in the world would award them money. Copyright laws only extend so far. Edited By: John Avian on Year 13 Day 14 14:22

Avid Soyak	Guys, maybe starting a thread in Message Centre would be better. More people over there. This has turned out to be more of a discussion than helping. ____________ Avid Soyak Asst Simmaster avid@swcombine.com [21:08] [.Veynom] love is for the weak !
