What do copyrights have to do with inaccurate maps?



To use something protected that way, and so commonly distributed, implies that the intregity of the thing is understood.

So you are better off making mock copy than say, illustrating what a hord of zombies can do to the orginal....

Seemingly me: There is no law preventing a company from creating a map based on their own IP.

Not a surprise since the European economy is big on copyrights and how to enforce them.

... WUT?

-- SWA uses the NASA Blue Marble Next Generation graphics for the basemaps as far as I know. They could have photoshopped them a little to represent the sunken areas. I don't think there's a major copyright issue with that.

-- BTW I have gotten some clarification and guidance on some long-standing map issues for Shadowrun North America from the line developer. I hope to integrate that into my project soon.
