Hi there,
Probably old news, but didn't find any info on it.
These graphics look very familiar, don't they?
Is CCP aware of this use of their graphics? "War is a continuation of commerce by other means" - Unknown Caldari philosopher

And you decided to take this out on the poor innocent forums? What did they do to you?

CCP's legal department will surely be all over the case soon.

Yeah, and? That does not give them the rights to just use the graphics and not giving credit to anyone (CCP, EA)? ---

And strangely enough, that is a defense for copyright infringment in some cases.
But I'd assume they have this covered somehow. It's a little too obvious a copy job for a company to rely on the 'nobody will notice' chance.

I heard that the game is destined for failiure though because folks have been using an exploit to get loads of ingame curreency for free over many years.
Oh wait, wrong game

I'm no lawyer or even an internet lawyer, but what do you do? You can't get any money because they don't charge so do you go tell them to give you credit for some of the pictures that may be just placeholders? If they charge players or get advertising dollars then it is a entirely different deal.
If I were CCP, I'd let them use whatever images they wanted as long as they kept an EVE advertisement on the site 24/7. --

oh wow thats terrible.
Free or not, unless they have permission from CCP and EA, they need to use their own graphics. Period.
These guys need to be shutdown unless they get permission.

that's hilarious, those are definitely the eve icons, lol.
CCP should contact them and let them use them for exchange to a quick splash screen on launch that says "eve-online assets used in this game" or something. Free publicity is never a bad thing.

Given that CCP developed the graphics, the artwork within the game is owned by them- using that artwork is still illegal.
Plus, that Sins map looks like they maybe ripping off more then the artwork from EVE, possibly even the underlying engine.

No, just the artwork. They are taking screenshots of various things and using them as the basis for thier static backgrounds and icons.

Problem is that at least in the US if you don't fight for copyright infringement you can lose your copyright protection later on.

I'm still pretty sure it's a copyright infringement.
It's also lazy.

It's Limbo of the Lost all over again
As to the freebieness, I imagine they currently are trying to make money through it for advertising or otherwise, if not subscriptions, so there's probably some argument to be made for infringement _____________________
