Default Re: Art for Mods (Intellectual Property question)

I have made some team-logos for the "Chaos League PC-Game" (I used the original GW-Team-Logos) and after putting the logos into a forum it lasted only two days to receive a message from GW that I ve to delete the logos for copyright protections.

Maybe this was because "Chaos League" is apparently a Bloodbowl-Clone but without paying tribute to GW?!

Artwork is a little different than Logo's. Most of the time the artist will retain the ownership of the picture and grant the user permission to use it (generally for a one time payment). Unless the user wishes to purchase the art it remains the property of the artist. This allows them to deal with many companies without getting tied down to one customer. A lot of artwork is shared buy different companies using the same picture on different products.
