I was stunned when I heard this a few weeks ago. I understand why they want it, but it sounds so silly to me, and how can they enforce it? Will they go after Summit, and the Luxor in Las Vegas, and the books printed about Egypt? And if they do, Will China, Japan, india, Native Americans, France etc all do the same and sue anyone who copies their national treasures? I was planning to build Egyptian themed Poser conent this year, but now.... I don't know.... It makes me sad. :( Hmmm.... A theme I have kicking around is "New Egypt" - sort of a What-if type of theme, What If Anicent Egytian culture never died out and was alive and well today? What would it look like, and what would it look like in the near future? Do you think this alternative take on an ancient culture could avoid copyright issues? Would the Stargate movie and TV series get sued, or would it be safe because it invented it's own style and mythology? Thoughts? bB
