RE: Newt
Newt is a copyrighted character owned by Wizards of the Coast. Can't be reproduced.
HOWEVER
I could do a "generic" fairy dragon and as long as it isn't listed with the name "Newt" there's no copyright infringement.

RE: Classic Comments
Might have copyright trouble with "Bring out yer dead!" since it's from Monty Python.

Heh
ROFL good one Kirkus...
I prefer...
Copyover in three minutes to fix bug with thief class gaining overly-large sums of money from low level mobs
Oh bah, four thieves just made 18,000 platinum. Copyover in 5 seconds.
Oh, and...
I facepalm at you.

Sometimes you gotta prove to your friends that you're worth a damn. Sometimes that means dying. Sometimes that means killing a whole lot of people.

Re: RE: Classic Comments
I'll try to frame a polite response to that statement...Belose wrote:... I hate copyright laws...
Copyright laws are what protects my art. When I put 80-100 hours of work into a piece of art, I %&#@($* want something protecting my rights as an artist.
I hope everyone else here can understand and respect the creative process and just how difficult and disheartening it is to see people stealing your work. To me, it's the equivalent of stealing a piece of my soul.
http://www.whatiscopyright.org/ - Read it. It's good for you.

Copyright laws protect the artist. They are designed to do so with good reason. Believe it or not, lyrics written on the back of a napkin are copyrighted. It may be hard to prove, but registration of intellectual property is NOT required to establish copyright. If you have the SLIGHTEST doubt that ANY material you might use has been created by someone else, give them their due rights and DO NOT use it without their "expressed written permission."

Perhaps I should rephrase that.. I hate the way the copywrite laws are written....I didn't write that to get anyone mad... and I really would hate to see someone STEAL anyones creativity. I could go on a rant about lyrics and the use of them in gaming....or phrases that have become SO used I'd really like to see people trying to enforce the laws... can you imagine Monty Python sueing everyone who's gone around saying 'I want.... a SHRUBBERY!!!" And after seeing my picture on the left over there, I'd hate anyone to steal it from Andreas to use elsewhere...and I thank you for drawing it for me.....I hope this clarifies it a lil bit better..
