In Response To: Halo Machinima now illegal? (Laird) : http://www.xbox.com/en-US/community/developer/rules.htm : Just curious of what machinima creators can and can't do with
What many of you guys are worried about is getting in trouble for having a real story set in the Halo universe (i.e. It's not a pointless Red Vs. Blue Comedy, but rather a serious drama). Well, they say that "You can’t add to the game universe or expand on the story told in the game with “lost chapters” or back story or anything like that." They did not, however, say that you cannot use the Halo Universe as a starting point and then branch off into your own story. One thing I noticed on redvsblue.com forums was one person asked, "Does this mean you can't sell a shirt with a quote from your machinima?" and was answered with something like, "Yes, that's what it means." However, the quote (unless from the game itself) is not Microsoft's. It is yours. You can sell anything on a shirt or hat or mug, or whatever, as long as it's not owned by Microsoft. And last I checked, Microsoft didn't own the English language (correct me if I'm wrong). The same thing goes for soundtracks. If you use your own, you can sell it. The songs must be original, of course. "You can’t sell or otherwise earn anything from your Items." This has always been known. No suprise here.
And that's my take on some of the things. If you've read all the way to the bottom of this post, congrats, you've survived one of my rants.
