Hi Siddhartha, but I'm not sure about the legal validity of
releasing
machinima videos. This is actually a good legal question.
If one makes a machinima film in World of Warcraft where all
content is
owned by Blizzard entertainment, can one then make a
machinima film and
then sell and or license that content? I think this is not
legal.
It would be legal though to do this in Second Life or some
Open Source
3D app where the characters are cleared for usage.
Assets in 3D games and other apps are locked down majorly...
Maybe a lawyer in the house could shed more light onto
this...
