That is a touchy issue, but I believe that you should read the "Digital Millennium Copyright Act" page on the Secound Life Website before continuing to make Kot0R based items.

Girl Commits Suicide Over Internet Prank
I don't know about other people, but the majority of the thirteen-year-olds I've met, mainly through friends who have younger siblings, recently are perfectly capable at recognizing frauds like this - and I can only think of one who might be hurt by the breakup with an "Internet boyfriend," and she has some major image issues. All the others, especially one particular fourteen-year-old girl who is already applying to a local female-only college that allows people as young as twelve, are relatively stable and sane by adult standards, and would be able, at least from what I've seen, to distinguish a false profiles from real ones. I will admit that my views might be skewed, seeing as my base are all people who either already have successful siblings or are involved in the same silver-level, or upper-bronze-level, Ballroom Dance exhibition on New Years -something that takes both dedication and practice-, and that I may not have a good grasp of what the average "tween," or whatever he hell they're being called now, is like.

Girl Commits Suicide Over Internet Prank
Actually, the news story said both parents were involved, so you cannot say that it was "an adult man." You can also not say the parents "targeted" the girl, for that makes it sound as if they wanted to drive her to suicide. They were trying to protect their daughter by finding out if the girl was spreading rumors about her, and something tragic happened - nothing more and nothing less. I cannot say that I would not have recommended that the two use the particular method they choose, but their goal, in theory, was a reasonable. I believe you are trying to place blame in case where both sides are guilty on nothing more than mistakes, although the dead girl's parents should pay for the property they damaged...

Girl Commits Suicide Over Internet Prank
What if it was two minors in the aforementioned case, Sand? Or what if, instead of being a romantic relationship, a child had a similar falling out with a favorite nanny or teacher that resulted in their suicide? Would the adult still be responsible?

The following amendment shipped as part of the Jedi Knight I/II and Jedi Academy EULA, and so that is why LucasArts supports JKI/II and JA modding and not Kot0R I/II modding. LucasArts has also said that textures and other materials from the JK series can be ported to other JK games, including JA, but this only applies to those particular games. As for your comment about Halo, you can base new textures on an existing item -as long as you do not plan to sell it, for then there would more legal issues-, but you cannot directly take materials from one game and port them to another. For example, you might find Master Chief armor for Oblivion, but the are not the same files that ship with Halo I, II, or III.

Light or Dark?
Would I murder someone just for the sake of killing them? No, probably not. Would I manipulate someone for personal gain? Sure, I'm positive I'll do that sometime during my life. You keep bring up the murder issue, but that is not what the Darkside is based on - nor is it the best example of what the Darkside supports.

Light or Dark?
Hitler thought he was acting for the greater good, a Jedi idea - but has nothing at all to do with Star Wars. Also, how the hell do you know "what a sith is?" Are you so dedicated to upholding a fictitious ideal that you have morphed it into something that is applicable in real life? If you actualy look at the Star Wars universe, you will find that the Jedi and the Sith are equally weak and vulnerable - although the Jedi have gotten better PR due to the original three movies of the trilogy.

Yes, but porting items is illegal and inadvisable.

Porting is an issue because 20th Century Fox, the company that owns the Star Wars franchise, will prosecute modders who use Star Wars related materials in non-Star Wars games - Battlefield 1942 for example. Also, modifying the original game may not constitute a breach of the End User License Agreement (EULA), for you are not actually "reverse engineering," "deriving source code," nor are you making anything that would not need the original program to run properly. To quote from a posting on the official Bioware Forum regarding modifications: "Bioware/LucasArts cannot condone the modding of any game that does not have a specific toolset designed for that purpose. This is not the forum to discuss mods. Search the Internet to find what you're looking for." There, they do not say that you cannot modify the file, nor does it say you can, the posting simply states that LucasArts cannot condone modifications that are not made with an official toolset. Also, the EULA says nothing about adding your own material to the game, this is what most modifications do, including those that change the program.
