Custom mousepad for 1 money

Note: I am not affiliated with the site I ordered myself a Metro 2033 themed mousepad and it looks quite cool. I guess some PoE graphics would also look good on a mousepad :) |

" Don't want to rain on your parade but this spurred me to check out the site for a submission policy similar to a custom iPhone skin site and found this buried in the FAQ: 16. What is [AC]'s copyright policy? Per our terms and conditions, you may not submit to [AC] any material that could infringe rights of privacy, publicity or copyrights without the permission of the owner of these rights and the persons (or their parents or legal guardians, where applicable) who are shown in the material. For more details on our terms and conditions, please refer to: privacy@[AC].com But you shouldn't need such a local policy to know that it's only polite, if not legally required, to ask permission to use GGG's copyrighted material. A PoE mousepad is cool, but GGG should get the business from it at some point if they want it. And, even if they never make mousepads available, GGG should definitely have a say in whether or not another company can profit from their assets. Последняя редакция: Durentis#4897.

" I was thinking about that. Why didn't GGG include something like a PoE mousepad in those supporter packs? I'm sure many people, including myself, would want one. I don't think GGG would be upset if I use their game that I love for a single mousepad. If anything, it's a form of advertisement. However, if someone started to sell these and catering them to PoE fans, then I could see where that could hurt potential profits by GGG. "A communion...but with what?

" That's not really relevant to this, and nobody but GGG can really answer for certain. But I'd suggest that they had to pick a few cool items and had to draw the line somewhere - mouse pads simply didn't make the cut. You can see from the pics in the recent announcements that the logistics of what they decided on are pretty crazy for their small team as it is. " The problem here is that instead of simply asking and knowing for sure, you are making assumptions. Assumptions not only that it's ok to use their assets for other than they've already allowed, but that you can freely use their assets to advertise as you see fit on their behalf. You assume that your advertising is nondestructive. You assume rights that aren't yours. " I'm not a lawyer, but I'm pretty sure that copyright is lost if a company fails to enforce it. That is, they set precedent by indirectly allowing use of once copyrighted material over a period of time. What's the difference between you ordering a PoE mousepad from their store, or you ordering a generic mousepad from their store with a PoE image on it? Certainly a larger scale of copyright violation if the site hosts the image in the store than if they allow the creation of one unit, but both, I think, clear violations (the latter by the customer as well as the site). Just think of how much revenue/support GGG would lose if any company could freely market their assets for potentially lower costs than GGG can at some point? It wouldn't stop at mouse pads, I guarantee it. Shirts, hats, (travel) mugs, key tags, laser pointers, laptop/phone/tablet skins, ..... there are thousands of imprintable promotional items. That's a huge amount of potential income for GGG that they need to protect. But GGG can, if they choose, give you permission to have another company create a single PoE mousepad for you without setting precedent and having to allow others to do the same. That's their choice. Seems like a lot of "sillyness," perhaps, given that you want to have just one mousepad made.. but it all comes back to one simple question. Why not just ask GGG if it's ok? |

" Yes, quite silly. " ..because its REALLY not a big deal and GGG is not the type of company to dwell on something like this. I wouldn't have bought a Gold Supporter pack if it were.
