    Quoted from PPS:

    It's an interesting project and having been in the software world for some time really like the work, but someone commented that there can't be any copyright issues ... there can be as follows:
    "One who knowingly induces, causes or materially contributes to copyright infringement, by another but who has not committed or participated in the infringing acts him or herself, may be held liable as a contributory infringer if he or she had knowledge, or reason to know, of the infringement"
    All of the DMD frames for I would think any game would be proprietary to the manufacturer of the game ... just sayin ...

    Would a copyright even apply in this case? The hardware that is being created contains no copyrighted material, it is only interpreting the signals from the machine.

    It would be like saying every TV manufacturer is infringing on copyrights because they are displaying copyrighted material.
