this steam group steamcommunity.com/groups/STARSHQ never states that capcom created S.T.A.R.S. they use the logo, name, each letters meaning. even on their fourm page z10.invisionfree.com/STARS_HQ the dont state it. now dont you all think that is a false claim and should be sued?


hopeing you will look in to this?


and come to an answer

It's a non for profit fan group. Nothing to see here.

Thats completely different they are not making money off the name they are making money because people want to be admin, so again that is a no.

I am not a lawyer, and we are not interested in tracking down fans being fans, but a monetary exchange around such a use is definitely a problem. 


 


Imagine if you opened up a S.T.A.R.S. Raccoon City cafe--just because you said you were charging money for your delicious sandwiches, and not for the big S.T.A.R.S. sign outside, you are still in clear violation of Capcom's intellectual property. 


 


best,

Where does it say they're making money off it?


Quite sad the lengths Capcom fans will go to suck up to Capcom and screw other legitimate fans over.

I was just assuming they did since D said they did and most clans on Steam charge money if you want to become admin on their server.


I thinks its more disappointing then sad.
