Legality of distributing an MTG Database
Posted: 06 May 2011, 05:45
Yes, it's once again one of those "is it legal?" threads.
Some of us got into trouble for distributing WotC copyrighted stuff.
I see a bunch of "Magic databases" here and there, I'm wondering if they are legal. I see nothing on the WotC website that says it is legal to distributea MTG Card database, especially for a profit. Not pointing fingers or anything, but how do applications such as the "sylvan archives" (an MTG Database on the iphone) survive WotC's legal hammer?
(I guess my question includes deck builders)
