Just wondering

[Job]

Can't be arsed to troll through the coc.

Anyone who has an account can view the DAOC world, or any online game.

Would it be illegal for people to bet on the outcome of situations in the game?
Is it illegal to put any scene up on a large public screen?

I'm sure this is covered somewhere, it seems OK to print screenshots and mess with them as you like.
Mythic must own the graphics ,but do they own any scenario created by the players?
Could you all do a silly dance and sell it as a video?
Could someone set up a situation in game purely for others to watch?
Obviously small time isn't a problem, but it could get out of hand.

It's not so much a question of the rules,no doubt the small print covers all this, but it would be an interesting thing to play with.
The fight scenes from DAOC, could, with the right camera angles (like a god mode overview) be a form of entertainment.
Like a DAOC TV channel, highlights from last nights raid or live action.

I think the legal mess happens when someone tries to profit from ingame content. Staging fights is against the EULA anyway, making an underground fight club and betting real €€€ is probably as illegal as it gets

My guess:

legally it'd be covered by intellectual property rights and the like I imagine.

if you just put it up as a community entertainment/news thing you'd probably be left alone, if you started making money from it you'd probably get sued.

Could always email sanya about it
