LanceMartin · #1 02-12-2002, 11:51 AM

I know this sounds real newbish but the guy started mouthing me and calling me a ***** so I might as well break him up. The Guild Camelot. I know about Camelot and King Arthur and everthing BUT Camelot is also the name of a Gaming Company that made Golden Sun for GBA...and isn't there a rule agiast that?

No, since Camelot was a general place before the company was created. As far as I know, Arthur didn't copyright Camelot.

Graal wont let you register copyrighted names for a clan such as AKA "Nintendo Clan", Sony Masters, etc. Hmmmm Bhala let someone register "Fire Emblem" (which was a japense video game series). This is because of copyright reasons but I dont think its much of a copyright. I checked out Stefan's profile and I dont think he knows squat about the american law when his profile said 22, Male, Germany.

... You do know that most western european countries have basically the same laws as the US has right? Only real difference is in most cases that firearms are just plain illegal everywhere in Europe.

So just because Stefan lives in Germany, that means he knows "squat" about American laws? You've been drinking again, haven't you?

He musn't know about them, basicall because there's millions of copyright violations in graal and he isn't doing anything. Ice Climbers for instance. wait...to tell you the truth violating nintendo is more japanese law because they made the games, not the US.

First off, Japan could honestly care for crap if someone in the U.S made a guild on an online game with the same name as one of their characters in a game they made. It would be the concern of Nintendo's U.S.A branch.

Second, there are HARDLY ANY copyright violations. There's the odd graphic or two, but besides that, it isn't violating anything.
