The general rule is that group channels are OOC, for people who care about such things. There's always that one annoying guy who puts everything he says in OOC channels in double parentheses anyway, though. You will probably only ever get yelled at really if you interfere with people off doing their RP thing in says.

Just let me know if your swtor.com name is sufficiently different from your f13 name that it is tough to recognize (I'm Komoto at swtor.com). I'm keeping a running list of oddball names on the private guild forum there, in the "Roster" thread. |

I have Tide reserved ( http://www.swtor.com/community/member.php?u=494) I will also register Soln at launch. Empire really? EDIT: applied! |

I believe it only lets you apply to one guild, and I applied to my WoW guild's ... guild. But they're playing Republic, so when the urge to Empire strikes me I will hope there's some form of Bat Country left to bother for that.  |

Only if you have folks in the UK buy it for you. It's still George's property in the US. The guy also charges an obscene amount of money for the costumes - $3,000 - and has screwed Artists in general in pursuing the ruling. If it can be deemed functional its no longer art and you can produce knockoffs in the UK after 15 years. i.e. Anything produced by an Industrial Designer. You can argue that Buckminster Fuller wasn't making art, or that the Dyson products aren't sculptural and have a distinctive look but I'll still say you're full of shit. Hell, considering most folks who *really* want a ST uniform of Production quality and want to pay that kind of cash want that LA stamp, they'll still be buying from George. All he's done is paved the way for folks to undercut him with their own molds. Way to go, knob.  |

George still has monopoly in the US, right? And could theoretically choose to mass-produce and sell the costumes in quantities and at prices this guy can't compete with?

I haven't been following this game very closely but I was probably goint to get it, until I found it wont be released in Australia at launch. I really hate EA.
The stupid thing is that I probably would have imported it because I don't pay aussie RRP anymore but I'm still offended when they decide to pass us over.

Are you trying to say there are some artists somewhere who actually own copyrights to works of commercial value? |

Tuned in, immediately get to watch cringey Ubisoft talking head offering her deepest sympathies to the families impacted by the Orlando shooting while flanked by a man in a giraffe suit and some sort of "horrifically garish neon costumes through the ages" exhibit or something. We need to stop this fucking planet right now and sort some shit out. -Kail

So, wait, I can pre-order now, but when is launch?
EDIT: Amazon says This item will be released on December 31, 2011., that date seems odd.

Says someone in FoH, har.
Mr. BW, I'm sure this game will not be up to the high standards of APB.
About the Stormtrooper armor guy...does Lucas sell the stuff directly? If not he should stop trying to shut the guy down.
And in guild notes...approved a couple more folks. Who are Tide and kalain? If you do not use your f13 nick or a reasonable fascimile, please pm me here letting me know who you are on swtor.com. Rejected Meccan, steak and JohnOC because their apps sat there for over a month without pming me (steak does sound familiar, but he's not registered here).

Thats kind of how I feel as well. Big Star Wars fan, the game looks decent not great, but I did like the KOTOR games. My guess is I'll end up picking up a box from best buy on release. Skyrim is coming out 11/11 too, so it should be a solid quarter for RPGs. |

Are you trying to say there are some artists somewhere who actually own copyrights to works of commercial value? You're saying all designers everywhere are only employed by a corporation they hold no interest in? Sky - you should update the info page of the guild to have them PM you here when applying. |

Good idea, and done. Also updated the quote. Bonus points to anyone who can identify it without google. Last quote was part of the Sith Code (there's a 100 character limit). Checking on Lucas selling any trooper armor...they've shut down the entire starwars.com store!  |

I'm not surprised because it's been horrible for several years. I don't think they had anything exclusive anymore, beyond the Nagel-inspired giclee prints from last year. Now I'm annoyed I didn't buy one. Oh well.

So, you think Lucas should abandon the copyright on Star Wars? |

Because that is the only imaginable option available, of course I do. Actually, he should probably hand it off to the Drs Ray and Greg. |

Personally I think copyright limitations, like patents, should expire after a limited period so that it acts to maximise works in the public domain, as per the US constitution. 15 years seems pretty reasonable. Nobody ever made an investment decision regarding art on the grounds that it would turn a profit in year 16. |

Do you accept that patents should expire and if so what on earth is the difference?

I accept patents and copyright expiring after my death. It's party of my body of work, why should I not be allowed to reap profit from it for the full duration of my life? Perhaps even extending it as far as 10 years after death to support wives/ kids until they can get other revenue streams. Anything more than though I do not support. The current 70 years after death timeframe is utter bullshit. |
