CCP thinks that Pepsi will be okay with me putting their logo on **** and calling it my own intellectual property if I scratch it up and put my own logo right next to it. Because that's their logic.
It's ******* stupid and so is whoever thought of this.

Yeah... I think Sion said it best in the CSM9 Minutes:

Quote:

Sion Kumitomo: The question is, it’s been what, 11 years? And how many times have you been accosted by a player for IP rights?

CCP Falcon: Zero, nil, none.

Sion Kumitomo: So as far as your risk profile here, it is not high. When people see their logo being used
on something official, their first thought is hooray.


Apart from that, I was hoping they'd tell them this was non-negotiable. Full Stop. But hey, they were elected to CSM because they can compromise. We'll see how this actually plays out once they push it.

I think "Torfi" is head of IP. I wouldn't call this guy stupid - ever. Nor should you. Lets be happy that we still can have our own alliance logos and not have to use some crappy kind of shape-selection builder.

A universal, assignable, irrevocable and royalty-free license to use.
It's an even better solution for CCP than CCP's own solution, considering in many (most?) jurisdictions their proposal doesn't actually solve any of the problems they're claiming it does. A derivative work doesn't suddenly resolve the issues with using somebody else's intellectual property.

but you also chose to upload your logo, they are not breaching anything because you are the one who wants your logo on their game so you agree to there terms or dont upload

and who exactly gets a royalty free license?

The uploader would be the one granting CCP the license.
