I think the use of the flags to represent the language is possibly confusing people who might be looking for their flag. i.e. the Union Jack is used to represent the English language, which seems reasonable to me as that's where it originated.

Why is there an age limit? I am 16 but I would really like to take part in this competition :)

Most likely because you'll have to sign a legal agreement with CCP for them to be able to use it.
And at 16 you can't enter a legal agreement in most countries.

The solution is to have a legal guardian officially take part.

I didn't see this earlier.

I think it is important to remember that lawyers outside theocratic jurisdictions don't give advice on how everyone must live. All lawyers can do in modern jurisdictions is assess commercial risk and predict outcomes in civil disputes or cases of regulatory infringement.

Considering the context here, a handshake agreement with young adults is almost certainly not going to result in a scenario where CCP faces any kind of commercial loss. Nor is there any obvious case for civil liability on either side. I don't know Icelandic law, but I doubt it includes prohibitions on young adults sharing their IP with others if they wish to do so. That would be a hard one to police, if you think about it.

So, take everything all around, CCP need to balance negligible commercial risk of civil litigation from a vexatious litigant against the very real risk of being perceived, by their customer base, as a paranoid organization who leadership squeals in fright every time general counsel make their sad face.

To each their own commercial strategy in this world, but my counsel would be to do a handshake deal with the kids and keep things dignified, and to hold off on shooting the IP puppy until it bites someone.

Dude, just ask your mom. Christ, it's not that hard.

Hi, very interesting, couple of questions though :

1. Can I use the EVE models/textures imported from TriExporter and rework them in After Effects (ie. customized paint job, decals, added fx) ?
2. Can I use Post processing effects such as camera wiggle, motion blur etc ?
3. In what extent do I need to collect people names ? I will be the only one working on it : camera work, editing, post process etc, though my corporation comrades are active part of the video since they are the subject matter. Though, there will be no "organized shots" (only real in-game combats + post process shots made by me with CCP assets in third party software)
4. I planning to make a vid for my corp, so it will contain some kind of propaganda about it, but with the feel of "This is EVE" trailer. Are these kind of videos accepted, or should it be more a global view of the EVE universe.

Now you've gone and done it... Don't encourage us Americans to initiate law suites...
We'll sue McDonalds for making our coffee too hot... Honda for making seat-belts too hard to open under water while intoxicated... And win!

We're not making a video.
