Okay,

I had a short conversation with the DLoH, and to put it simply, I am going to
be removing the Rigger Black Book vehicle images pages and pics as they stand.
There is the potential for copyright infringement and it does not come from
the direction of FASA, instead it comes from some of the artists that were
commissioned to do the artwork, as some of them still retain copyrights on
those drawings.

Sorry,
-Herc (Yes LadyJ, you were right, though from the wrong direction however)

This is actually similar to a problem TSR had - for those of you who aren't
familiar with their website, on it they provide quite a few Dragon magazine
articles free to download. However, they can't provide the old stuff,
because the writers hold copyright over it and they can't get in touch with
the writers.

*shrug* Just a little tidbit for you all.

Though they are producing a CD that conatins all the old dragons.
They got around the above problem, by reprinting the issue exactly, with ads
and all. Since they own the rights to the magazine or some such....
For your review :-)
