question on the rules

This has recently been a problem propagating throughout the Warcraft III communities; and as such it is important to make it absolutely clear within our rules. Discussion of the processes of exporting anything from World of Warcraft is prohibited. The uploading of WoW exports will result in a warning. Should one continue in attempting to acquire or produce WoW models at Wc3Campaigns, they will be banned. Offsite linking to WoW exports is likewise not permitted. No map content containing WoW exports will be acceptable in our Map Database (Except in cases as mentioned below). This is a serious issue, do not take it lightly. Heavily modified WoW models, wherein the purpose of the original model is altered drastically, can be acceptable in specific cases at the moderators discretion. This rule also applies to exports of any kind from any game.

Does this include console games? like images or music?

For example:
Icons for all items and music in The Legend of Zelda A Link to the Past for the Super Nintendo System

I'm thinking of making a campaign for Zelda A Link to the Past and use the icons and music in it.

Reread.

Still don't know?

The answer is yes.

Presumably because this site does not condone illegal activies, which includes the stealing of copyrighted intellectual property.

Linera	Well so much for making my Zelda 3 campaign

Rao Dao Zao	Funny that we don't condone illegally ripping stuff, when a lot of people around here have obtained certain programs by morally dubious means...

Yes, but by keeping quiet about it, and not posting it on the website, the companies that own those programs do not get their lawyers to 'contact' WC3C concerning illegal material.

/me glares at RDZ.

Linera	So then why can't we just post maps with images or music from the console game and just not post the actually images and music on the site. But instead post maps containing the images and music.

Taur	I highly doubt super nintendo is going to sue you over using some icons. And a lot of the tools on wc3c break the WE EULA like 1000 times over. It does look pretty bad going around suing modding communities :P

Tim.	Goodbye Linera. Take your fucking bullshit elsewhere. I am tired of you trying to get us to allow you to import stolen material into your works; I hope you grow up someday. Banned.
