WoW copyright judgment - Problem for P99?
 

Here is the story. I hope P99 is safe.

Here's the key phrase:

They would have to prove that the person/people who own/run this server are making a profit off of it.

gpig beat me to it.

If you draw a picture of spiderman at home, you're not doing anything wrong.

If you sell that picture, you are.

Supoose I draw a pitture of Spiderman having anal intercourse with Optimus Prime. Is it wrong, then?

On many levels.

Rule 34.

Also, adding to the fact that no cash transactions are made here. Look at EQ's popularity these days. I don't think Sony would even waste the time to think about litigation let alone the money.

If I was home right now I would screenshot the clip from Seth Macfarlanes Cavalcade of Cartoon Comedy with Optimus Prime and post it. Anyone who's seen it knows what I'm talking about.

NSFW.. Just in case...
Bam

Neither is this... unless you have headphones:

Lots of great stuff, his impersonations of the various characters voices are amazing!

But if you write a story about Spiderman, and the original copyright holder for Spiderman decides to use your story ... there isn't a damned thing you can do about it. They can use your words verbatim and make money off of it.
