If SOPA passes, will it affect Disco?

[AeternusDoleo]

From what I hear, if we don't have the express permission or fair use policy under the materials we use, will it affect the mod if the bill passes?

I mean, we're modding a game that Microsoft and Digital Anvil made, and it contains ships from other games, or copies from other games. Like the Homeworld ships for example.

Not anymore it doesn't. Those crappy homeworld models were the first to go, and all other imports will at some point or another follow suit.

Political argument to the side folks, but would the SOPA affect this mod, or really, most mods in general?:unsure:

I'm also pretty sure a lot of us use images from other games, I mean, my avatar is from another game.

I seriously doubt it Discovery will be affected. If only for the reason that it isn't hosted in the nation where this law is appliccable. Server's if I'm not misstaken in Germany. Europe tends to still have a more relaxed law in these regards. Besides, SOPA's designed to combat video and audio content sharing. Discovery doesn't fall in that category.
