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?

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

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.

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.

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.

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

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

Oh I'm not trying to legitimize it I'm just saying that the temptation is very strong as artwork is the thing that can make or break a game no matter how fun the gameplay it and its also the thing that eats up the moast development time and budget. By filching others artwork they probably saved a year minimum on getting the game from idea to implimentation. Too bad all that will have went for nothing after the legal eagles swoop in.

They already know they are in violation since Oct 2008. Using CNC graphics. The game designer/coder knows and admitted to using other people work.

I think you're all missing the point here: THEY STOLE FROM EA.
That's like stealing from Pablo Oscobar and urinating on his mother's grave (if she were dead); and sending him the film of it while laughing on screen.
You just don't do that.

Depends on the country he's based in, but there are plenty of countries where this is legal if no money is charged. In the Netherlands it's legal to do this kind of stuff as a student, for example.

But on-topic, this is true indeed, but in holland we have/used to have some weird laws concerning internet business anyway.
