In Response To: Re: Anybody make that paper MC? (strykerwolf)

: well ,in all fairness (at least as is my understanding copyright law),
: derivative works are legally the property of the orginal IP owner...and
: its not like microsoft is known for being warm to individuals of no
: particular consequence anyway :)

Yeah, I guess.

(I can see where taking your model without credit could be justified by the 'we own Halo, so we own designs based on Halo' doctrine... but the other image I linked to was basically an abstract background with a Halo logo slapped on it. They didn't even use the one with the Halo logo... they used the image WITHOUT the logo (which doesn't seem to be linked anymore). Which makes it not derivative at all - except inasmuch as Ken was INSPIRED by Halo (hardly a legitimate reason for MS to claim IP rights). Basically, stealing from fans - even for products not being charged for - sucks as much as stealing from the original company. :( )
