I need to know about the Copyright protection regarding Marathon and its characters.
Im thinking of making a NEWER BETTER FASTER STRONGER, etc version of my 3d animated short (that has a action scene from it that originates in a quazi-Marathon short story i wrote at 2am this past saturday).
Can I have my *future* film featuring some characters (bobs, the marine, pfhor in vacsuits, etc) show at a film festiville (somewhere) in Canada?
I wouldn't win anything; just acclaim, and you know... congrats. from people.
After Bungie gave up the source code, will I still be threatened with acts of violence and Harddrive deletion (by M$, Bungie, some guy off the street) if I use marathon characters in a public forum this way?
Thanks... I think I should know this, im in a Law class. ; D
Speaking of which, homework calls.
