"Fair use"

Today i was watching my cousin play destiny, and i see him wield this familiar looking gun. He shows me it and he tells me the name of it, its called "vex mythoclast"
http://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/2016...4eadb43bb2.jpg
And i immediately went to graal and checked the exotic coin guns and compared it to the gun "inferno" in graal and they were exactly the samehttp://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/2016...c099a2ef31.png
But not only that, there i also checked the exotic coin gun "carnage" and started looking through the guns in destiny, and guess what? http://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/2016...abd1e7fe62.jpg
States a webpage specialized in destiny that the content of such is allowed to be reproduced by other medias under the use of "fair use" of such content. http://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/2016...97580816da.png

Supposing those guns are copyrighted (which i dont know) you can use this guns i been working on for the past months to replace themhttp://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/2016...b9166064b7.pnghttp://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/2016...995134c7f6.png

We all knew this..

I just logged into era right after posting this thread and i noticed the NPC selling the guns is saying "Bring me exotic coins, it is your Destiny". Is Era aware that this is Destiny's content?http://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/2016...161151c7e7.png

This is old news, if these guns are still in-game send snk a PM

The guns were apparently edited enough to meet the difference needed to include them in the game.
I don't approve though. Initially they were 100% the same lol

They are exactly the same, those differences that you mention dont exist in era's version because they couldnt make them with pixels

Exotic coins are a rare and really useful item that with some great luck you would get out of presents if im right. You can either trade them for over 80k tro or exchange them along with some money for one of this incredible weapons

Well to be fair, lightsabers are in the game and no one's commented about how that violates fair use.
Bitz did his include a NPC that has a destiny pun in it for players who do play the game destiny and recognize those weapons as derived from that game.
I don't think there's anything wrong here.

In its most general sense, a "fair use" is any copying of copyrighted material done for a limited and “transformative” purpose, such as to comment upon, criticize, or parody a copyrighted work. Such uses can be done without permission from the copyright owner. However the uses of this material must Not be profitable for the third party that is basically illegally using the work. If your use qualifies as a fair use, then it would not be considered an illegal infringement. The lights sabers are obtained with event coins, but you Cant buy event coins with any real and valid currency, therefore Graal Era's light sabers are protected by the law of fair use.

Graal Era is a commercial game run by a legitimate business, it can't use other people's products or licensed/copyrighted materials without getting permission first regardless of how you obtain them in the game.

Graal Era has no fair use defense. Square-Enix once threatened legal action against Graal/Unholy Nation because there was a free chocobo mount.

Oh and here we go again


Destiny?
Star Wars?
Nintendo?

Would you like me too continue?


Yes of course if a player went to these companies with solid evidence they would more than likely take Graal into a court case


For copyright items

All Era needs to do is re-name light saber to something like energy sword or light blade...
The only issue with it is the name, which is trademarked by Lucas

As reno said- the light sabre is easier to defend than the destiny guns.
Star wars doesn't have the ownership for the idea of "concentrated laser weapon" lol

What about the times the saber/ sabre was up for auctions? I know a long time ago there was one. I am sure the lawyers would be furious.
