Fair Use?
Is this map somewhere on the site of Wizards, because if not and if it is scanned, there could be some trouble with copyrights. It is now allowed to scan printed things and take them in the I-net without the permission of the owner. 89.16.141.52 10:34, 29 September 2008 (UTC)


 * See the copyright tag. "It is believed that the use of low-resolution images of works of art for commentary on the work in question, or for illustrative reference qualifies as fair use under United States copyright law."  This was taken from wikipedia, IIRC.  13:15, 29 September 2008 (UTC)

Does anyone have a link to a high-resolution version of this? Quin 00:53, 4 October 2008 (UTC)
 * Yes, I do (and in fact, if I'm not mistaken there's an unused high-res version on this wiki). However, I did not find it on WOTC's site and so it likely violates Fair Use. I was unable to obtain a statement one way or the other from Wizards. It is, of course, included in the FRCG.


 * The image here is a little less than half the resolution for the actual map, which makes the large country names readable while making the details unreadable (which I expect is the point of lowering the resolution for Fair Use). If you need to find a high-res version for some reason or another I recommend either buying the FRCG, borrowing the map from someone you know who has the book, or, as a last resort, looking for an online version (which may or may not violate Fair Use). As of yet, Wizards has not posted a full map, though they've posted several segments in their preview articles for the FRCG and FRPG. Niirfa-sa 01:18, 4 October 2008 (UTC)


 * I will certainly buy the new fourth edition campaign book. I was just curious, though. Quin 01:27, 4 October 2008 (UTC)


 * No problem. And for the record I wasn't meaning to imply you weren't going to :). Niirfa-sa 01:40, 4 October 2008 (UTC)
