how about you get a life. you copied that concept fair and square.
we dont take the credits for the design of the starcraft units or the avp units, but you ARE taking credit for the planetside weapons, which can get you in a lot of trouble. secondly, you didnt pay for that copyright so that gets you in even more doo-doo.

Obviously this forum has a loose stance on copyrighted material, but it <i>does</i> have a stance and there <i>are</i> rules. Here's the way it works.
1) Never claim something is yours if it isn't. Ever. I don't care where you got it. I don't care if you don't know where you got it. If you didn't make it, don't take credit for it.
2) If you would like to modify an existing work or work from someone else's concept/model/skin/etc: -a- If the work is by an NS community member or any other "small-time" artist, make every effort to contact them for approval FIRST. If you cannot reach them, you may proceed <b>on the condition that you are fully prepared to cease work on or take down your piece if the original author shows up and objects.</b> -b- If the work is by a professional company and you don't have any way of getting in touch with them to ask permission, proceed at your own risk. Legal repercussions are your concern. If the NS forum staff receives a C&D order from a company claiming copyright infringement, we will remove all offending work. [Marik_Steele's edit] And if it's obvious enough it's stolen, you'd better hope I'm not the first to hear about it, because I still have my rule of "author decides the thief's punishment"[/edit] -c- Regardless of where you got the original, give credit to its copyright holder.
We realize that people are going to import models from other games/mods (e.g. AvP, CS) and create works based on existing concept art (e.g. Starcraft, NS forum member concepts). These rules, we feel, allow flexibility and freedom while (a) protecting our user's intellectual property and (b) covering our own butts, legally.

Bottom line: respect existing copyrights at all times. For the record, the simple creation of an image automatically copyrights that image to its creator. There's no need to put the little © or anything -- it's automatic and assumed, and will hold up in court if someone did choose to pursue legal action. We hope it doesn't come to that.
There's nothing wrong with creating a gun based on an existing design, as occurred in this thread. But please give credit to the original artist.
