>> Mark Rein "Ugh. Our lawyers are trying to do their job and
protect our trademarks but I guess they didn't realize this wasn't a
commercial project and
they fired off a standard form letter. It is
unfortunate when this happens but the problem with trademarks is you
HAVE to protect them and Emilio's work looks so amazingly professional,
right down to a cool package!, that they probably failed to notice this
was a one-off gift for non-commercial use. What we need to do is come
up with some sort of permission letter for things like these so that
we're properly protecting our future commercial rights but not stopping
people from doing cool fan art like this.
On behalf of Epic I apologize to Emilio and anyone who was offended by this."
