If you ever read the TOS for the SC and Wc3 map editors, Blizzard has ownership over any file made by those editors. Sneaky ****ards. If blizz doesnt like a project, they can shut it down at a whim. So yes, copyrights are kinda....pointless....for costom projects. If you think I'm wrong, ask the team that tried to make an SC mod for Zero Hour.
Blizzard, being the elitist ****** they are, refuse to accept fan-made material, regardless of its quality or how well it follows the original storyline, because they are affraid it'll "corrupt" their series. If you think I'm wrong, read their faq.
I'm a published author, and I once applied to become a writer for them. That's basically the spew they threw at me....makes me think where they get their in-house writers to write their novels, then.....probably the "good 'ol boy" system....
