Since our five year anniversary was coming up, I thought about having a book printed with Lusternia's current history, news posts, and artwork. Then I thought, I could probably get more of them, for cheap, and provide them to players who want them.

Of course, all of this content (including bardics and artisianals) is owned by IRE, and I'm sure there's some legal implications here.

Is there is a way that I can get some of our things bookbound, and then give them out for a suggested donation? I wouldn't be making any money, but I don't want to run into copyright laws.

If you have a real, legal answer (or an alternate suggestion), please let me know!

As our friends in the RIAA will happily inform you, commercial intent is not important for purposes of determining infringement, and you can be held liable for up to $150,000 in civil damages for each bardic, artisanal, and event post you copy unless you have prior written approval from the appropriate copyright holder.

I would hold off on that for now. I was actually thinking of doing the same thing when the Elder Wars histories were done, but they're not so it's a bit premature!

The lack of completion there was definitely a factor. When the histories are finished, I'd love to see something official, and maybe a premium version that contains all the histories, events posts, bardics, and artisinals. It'd probably cost upwards of $100, but if you think like I do, that's only 300 credits!

Would love to see it done. If you don't though, I will! I'd send you the first copy too. laugh.gif
