WoW Copyright Issues
I was trying to update my site to show both EQ and WoW copyright information...this is the paragraph I found which seemed relevant:
Blizzard Entertainment® hereby grants you a personal, non-exclusive, non-transferable and non- assignable license to use and display, for home, noncommercial and personal use only, one copy of any material and/or software that you may download from this site, including, but not limited to, any files, codes, audio or images incorporated in or generated by the software (collectively the "Downloaded Content") provided, however, that you must include or maintain all copyright and other notices contained or associated with such Downloaded Content. You acknowledge and agree that you may not sublicense, assign or otherwise transfer this license or the Downloaded Content and that no title to the Downloaded Content has been or will be transferred to you from Blizzard Entertainment® or anyone else. You also agree that you will not alter, disassemble, decompile, reverse engineer or otherwise modify the Downloaded Content.
Also, we reserve the right to revoke this limited use license at any time, for any reason, and at the sole discretion of Blizzard Entertainment®. You may not use our materials on sites that feature defamatory pornographic, or inflammatory content, including, but not limited to, hacks and cheats for any of our games or any other content that Blizzard Entertainment® find objectionable or unlawful.
Does anyone know of anything different or is this suitable?

Its fan art and within the limits of the given license. If you sell wow art, you sell your time, not the actual piece. You can't claim it as your own. Its like SOE's license agreement, account in good standing, etc, etc. Manipulating the toon doesn't (or shouldn't) go against their limited license agreement.

But do you think that is an appropriate quote to use on my "copyright" page? I've got all Sony's crap up there...I thought I should put WoW too...or should I remove the details of both and should anything come up I can point to the actual agreement?
Just making some feeble attempt to do things the right way hehe.

I've considered putting up wow's copyright. Now that I play and do fanart for it, i probably will. Doesn't hurt to cover your ass.
