Will SFI get sued to death over the Imagemod?

I got it more from Atrocities, actually...

SF is not promoting the images in the image mod as being their's nor are they profitting in any way. They do not have control over the content of the mod, nor were they responsible in any way for its creation.

Expand on that. Will the new publisher allow the same access to SE material as has been in the past? Or will they try to give their own web sites a monopoly?

Eh, what do you mean? You mean like prevent other sites from hosting mods and such?

Yes, as in using any of the code. This I doubt. Using the name or any artwork from the game. This could be. These guys have a history of porting games to the net for profit.

Ok, just so you know
Neither SFI or Malfador would be held responsible

BUT, the actual modders themselves can be (its happened 100s of times over the past few years in more well-known games)

Even if the images used are supposedly freely availiable over the internet, companies are still able to sue you for copyright breaches

The process is, you receieve a letter telling you to stop, if you dont you get sued
Ive not known it to ever get beyond the letter
