Hi all,

I have recently been using quite a bit of excel in making files, character sheets and more specifically gear lists. Last week I finished in digitising into excel form all of Arsenal except for weapons and vehicles. This led me to an interesting dilemma.

It has to do with the use of copyrighted material:
1. Can I even make such a spreadsheet?
2. Can I place it in such a place that it can be publically accessed?
3. Would copied descriptions of items be considered infringing on copyright?
4. What other matters should I have taken into consideration before making such a file?


After these questions have been answered can I talk about projects such as weapons, armor, cyberwear, vehicle builders that would greatly increase the speed in which such items are created. If, however, such files would be in breach of copyright I would of course not create them.
