Hi!
I was wondering is the use of names of films or TV series limited in any way? There seems to be several games using names and storylines from popular shows, so is there are any copyright issues?
Or are the organizers getting approval from studios? I think Spplat Attack got permission, but having Shatner as part of the whole thing probably helped a little :).
I think there were some discussion about this some years ago when Henry's ran the Paintball 2Xtremes, but I don't remember that it got to any conclusion. Does anyone remember how it went down?
