Re: [HOE] HoE in Poland

Piwo, 

I think you would need to state specific quotes and specific
attributees for the quotes before we/they can say if they would let
you use the quotes. Before I get quoted, I certainly want to know
what I am quoted as saying.

Also, are you going through legal channels to get the game
translated?  Pinnacle owns the copyrights to the material and you
would need to get their permission / license from them to translate
anything into another language, let alone publish the material,
especially if you intend to profit from the translation and
publishing.    As far as I know, it is illegal to re-publish anything
in another language without the original publishers consent.

I am all for translating the game and spreading its appeal throughout
the world, as long as its done legally.  Good luck spreading the game
to new people in new places!

Just to make it clear, this is a fans (my!) personal opinion, you
shouldn't take anything I have to say as the letter of the law, but
you SHOULD at least contact Shane, and Pinnacle officially before you
try to profit from anything they do or have done.  

John
