CCP's Intellectual Property Being Used Without Permission?

Ok serious post time!

If you take art that somebody else spent time and effort making and use it in a product that you are making money off of, that's lame. If you pay the artist or have some kind of agreement then that is fine. However flat out stealing art and passing it off as your own is one of the lowest things you can do.

I looked at those images and I see, clear as day art assets from EVE/CCP that are stolen and being marketed as some ripoff.
It's simple if you want to take somebodies art and improve upon it or edit it, or put it on your wall or t-shirt, thats fine. That is "fair use". As long as you don't make some kind of profit on it or try to say that YOU made it then there is nothing wrong.

tl;dr: Don't steal art and act like you made it. Shame on you.

Am I the only one who realizes this is literally the 10th time a thread has been made about I.P. mentioning this game.

[u]Rules of The Game[/u] 1. Everyone in the world is playing The Game. A person cannot not play The Game; it does not require consent to play and one can never stop playing. 2. Whenever one thinks about The Game, one loses. 3. Losses must be announced to at least one person.

Just wanted to bring up a concern I had about an iPhone game, called Galaxy Empire, that seems to be using IP from Ogame, Eve Online, Star Trek, and others. Maybe they are paying for it, and maybe not. Just thought I would raise awareness, in case they are not. I was looking for a game to play on iPhone, and I saw one that reminded me of Ogame, from when I played a while back. After getting it, I realized it wasn't like Ogame. It is Ogame. The same gameplay style, a lot of the same artwork, and item descriptions. They also use a bit of artwork from Eve Online.

I took some snapshots of the game, with my iPhone (sorry for the small pictures, as iPhone has limited screen real estate). I posted them on Photobucket at http://s1257.photobucket.com/albums/ii512/cosaides/

The Chinese-made game itself is free to play, but they offer micro transactions of "Dark Matter" that can accelerate building and research time, as well as provide additional resources of metal, crystal, and gas.

Anyway, this is just an FYI, in case CCP's legal team wants to get involved. I hate IP pirates.

I nearly married a girl named Surly Sue once, though I'm awfully glad now that I didn't - she could be really cranky.

Anyone remember that ebook that had a pic of a myrm on it?

Story was a real cheap Japanese Dating book, talking about large bouncing **** and women sleeping with you hours after meeting them and other ridiculous crap.

A month and a half since this thread originally appeared, a month and a half that app has been sitting on itunes Roll

There's one on the android market called galactic empires but it doesn't seem to be related and no sign of this galaxy empires on there, you'd think CCP would move quicker in an attempt to defend there property, i'm just shocked they used the abaddon as a recycler! Shocked

I happened to download the Android version. No blatant ripoffs that I have seen. Then again, I haven't really been looking. GOTTA' LEVEL UP MY SOLAR POWER PLANT TO 15 NOW.
