Are scenarios copyrighted?

[Huib Versloot]

Most EULAs make it out that you don't own the game and anything you do with it belongs to the maker.

If a game gives you tools, you get creative and decide to share, don't get poopy when someone modifies or steals it.

Like, hey, you put mustard on that hotdog I gave you. I don't like mustard, puke it up now!

So you are saying everything I wrote in Word belongs to Microsoft???

From the mail exchanges I had with Matrix I know they consider my scenarios to be my intellectual property. As I've said, I've given them permission to distribute them in the stock packages for as long as that has my consent (after all I have not shared in any profit they made by releasing JTCS and people payed for the game, not for the free updates that included my scenarios).
People can talk easily about copying data(as it happens everywhere) but they don't realize how much money can be involved to make a scenario. I have scenarios the have cost me several 100's of $ per scn invested in map material and books. I am glad at the Blitz we have such a polite community where people ask first before using other's material.
