[Archive] Copying sections of Throne of Tamurkhan

Admiral:

Minor question: What do you think about copying sections out of Throne of Tamurkhan or similar Forgeworld books, and what is the legal standpoint of CDO staff and GW/FW?

The reason I ask this is because the Throne of Tamurkhan book is both expensive, a good read and lavishly illustrated. One does not want it to get damaged during tournaments. Although it is by no means a legally compatible view, my view on the subject is that copying of rules sections for your own use is morally fine as long as you’ve bought the book.

ClawLeader:

If you own it prior there shouldn’t be legal problems so long as you don’t hand out the copied rules.

I my self have pdf versions of the rules I own, I don’t distribute them but I do use them when I’m in house gaming.

Looking up rules and explaining special rules and such is so much easier.

You do realise that the stance has to be "absolutely not" right?
It's also what GW says if you'd ask.

I fail to see what CDO has to do with what you do in the privacy of your own bedroom with consenting adults.
*wink**wink**nudge**nudge*

furrie:

it al depends on the country you live, here in the netherlands we are allowed to make copies for personal use. I’m not sure how its on tournaments, because I’m not realy a tournament player. And I agree as long as you have bought the book, you should be able to make copies for personal use.

Vogon:

I take a photocopy with me when I play at the local GW store and the manager is fine with that, though he does know I own a copy of the book and don’t want to lug it around.

Cheers

Willmark:

Considering some issues in the past with GW CDO cannot condone open discussion of copying of rules on the site.

No reprimand implied in closing this but a definite no-no here.
