what the Fudge is this? Nintendo doesnt go sue because people make replica zelda swords! Who put a tack on Squares chair??First They didnt even let Geno be in Smash bros and now this. But after a game in the series comes out they just move on to another series of characters so why the **** would be wrong with making swords based on past characters at least??

"so why the **** would be wrong with making swords based on past characters at least??"



Lets say, I make a game/book/TV show/movie, and I own all rights to it(George Lucas own all the rights to all the Star Wars movies) That means that I hold all the license to it. You deside that you want to make a toy from the book/game/TV show/movie that I made.

1)You could come it me and ask for a license to let you make just that, or

2)you could go off and make it you-self with out even get a license from me..

If you do #2 I can now sue you, becuse that toy is unlicensed. I get no money at all from the toy. It is my book/game/TV show/movie after all.

If I make a 2nd book/game/TV show/movie on the say setting. I would have to extend the rights to inculde this one as well. but I still have the rights to the past one as well.

This is all barebones. There is more to it, but just becuse Square dose a other game, does not mean they lose the rights to the last one.

If someone has copied an actual product and is selling it as that actual product then yes. If someone is claiming the item as a FF sword then yes.



If someone has created a series of swords fashioned in the style of "what's cool (FF)" then NO.

When will SE be releasing their replica swords? I mean it's obviously going to happen if they sued someone for it.
