Replicates or closely imitates the appearance of a celebrity, famous person, or fictional character from a copyrighted work (for example, avatars that replicate the appearance of movie stars or characters from a book, film, television program, or game) or Replicates or closely imitates the appearance of a real-world physical product of a brand owner (for example, items that replicate the appearance of brands of cars, jewelry, or shoes that are available in the real world) A "branded item" is an item that:Ĭontains or uses a brand name or logo 
 So where do you draw the line and who decides what is lawful and whats not? I agree someone shouldnt use someone elses addons without their permission but how far does that go?īranded items may be listed or sold only by the brand or intellectual property owner or its authorized agents. I don't know how you copyright a 70 year old cockpit but i'll go with it. I bring this up because a flight sim I use released aircraft without VC's because of the cost of using someones "patented" cockpit. And 100% of guns names are patented as well. Also names are patented and trademarked meaning unless you have permission to use the name Desert Eagle you are violating a law. If you read the trademark and patents on many of the Digital Camos it distinctly states you cannot copy their patterns. I learned that 99% of camo patterns used are copyrighted and trademarked. Things like MARPAT, CADPAT, ACOG, Remington, Glock, AR15 are all trademarked names and items. If we used the same logic this moderator used (not having permission to use someone elses work) You could apply that rule to almost everyones mods, addons or skins made in the ArmA world. The moderator brought up the fact that possibly in the Valve EULA they wouldn't allow their work (or a likeless of said work) to be used in another game or mod (I would honestly believe that Valve, the mad men of allowing stuff to be made from their products could careless about a mod) But this brought up a issue I am having with everyone elses addons as well. The example I will use is a HL mod someone was building. I see alot of threads get closed because someone either made something that looked like someone elses work or used a piece of someones work. I got to wondering about something I saw in these (and other forums as well) and I thought I would see if I could get a answer that makes sense.
