So...what's actually stopping you?
Posted By: AfroRyan <afroryan@gmail.com>Date: 9/9/06 12:38 p.m.

In Response To: Just awful, Halogen (Dracon1k)

I mean, sure, Microsoft said stop...but who cares? You weren't going to sell it for profit, so what can they actually sue you for? That's the exact same thing if Microsoft told HBO they couldn't have fan fiction, "because it uses our intellectual property." WHO CARES, IT'S FREE. That said, I say screw them, and continue developing it anyways. Legally, you're in the clear, and I doubt that Microsoft would actually pursue legal action if you continued. And even if they did, you would have full support of everyone in the Halo community. It would be horrible PR to destroy fans so faithful they wanted to simply make a fan mod.

Seriously though, am I right? There isn't actually anything illegal about making fan stuff if it isn't for profit, right? That's why a lot of fansites exist in the first place, you know? I mean, there's the 2D Halo, Halo Zero. It uses all of the same kind of "intellectual property," and it's still up for download. It's been in high profile magazines, essentially free advertising. And Microsoft really thinks that they can scare you?
