We need moore developers
StupidMarioBros1Fan[1138]:
Really the only thing you could get in trouble would just be the names and concept of this mod. You've recreated everything, besides the Source Engine, from scratch so this should still fall under Fair Use since Valve is A-Okay with using their characters and game engines as long as their created, so whoever tries to sue you has to be an ass & determined to take you guys down. :P
Rick Astley:
I found one character artist who could do a character if i paid for it (if i had some spare funds i might even consider asking him to a comission to do Nataylia or Xenia- but since im not sure about using paypal i might put the idea on a backburner)
DrDean:
I'm no fancy city town lawyer, but they are using Ian Fleming's James Bond character and using the faces of the actors from the movie without their permission, not to mention the rights to GoldenEye and 007 in general. But as long as the developers are not making a profit from the mod, it should be fine. Rightsholders get mad when you're making money off their dime, that's the whole thing with YouTube ever since they added profit sharing from views/subscriptions. There's also the further end of the spectrum where rightsholders feel nobody should be doing anything with their intellectual property on the basis that, for example, the GE:S devs did not purchase usage rights to 007 so the rightsholders feel they are losing money by having GE:S made for free. The whole thing is a bit of a grey area if I'm not mistaken.
Rick Astley:

major:
