So yes, Copyright definitely.
Ok well I'll guess you'll have to contact Microsoft up and have them sue me for naming a subserver to a playerworld 'Fable'

anyways...

We are mostly hiring GAT's now

Rapidwolve, your account is shared, I do not think you have the maturity to be even low staff on a server. Why don't you buy your own account and then we will talk?

As I have said already, Microsoft didn't copyright the name.

You can search the US Copyright Office's records if you still dont believe me.

But the name is not copyrighted.

i think you need to be concerned about the name Fable, and more concerned about how your going to find 14 to work on your server. there are barely 14 people posting in this forum

You're right, it's a Trade Mark.

This is correct... but trademarks are pretty specific. Microsoft has no case. The only way they may have a case is if he makes the pw similar to the game.

I understand that now days you can trademark or copyright anything. But Fable...Its a Noun...well then again so is walmart nowdays...but then again you wont find walmart in the dictionary i dont believe. Fable is another word for fairytale or untrue story.
