Title: Mtg games in app?
Post by: Sigma on December 09, 2013, 10:49:06 AM
I'm not sure. If this. Already exists in this app- I just downloaded it (and love it so far). But if it doesn't already exist, there should be a way to play against others using the decks we build in the app.

That one is done in the "Wall Games" thread. Welcome aboard the iMTG ship by the way.

AND it would be possible grounds for a lawsuit for copyright infringement.

Not if we use correct proxies.

I'm very curious Piotr. What an interesting idea. Is there any chance of elaborating on what a "correct proxy" might be?

That's a bit iffy. You could get away with it, but a copyright does cover "derivative works" so I would tread carefully. Although, I am sure you know more about this than I do. I don't really know much about copyright laws and if the protections given to copyrights in the US are guaranteed in other nations.

Proxy containing only game rules which can not be copyrighted. No images.
