"Big Blue Bubble has a strict policy when it comes to copyright. Files may not be posted without actual purpose in contributing to an article. All files are to be used educationally, with the purpose of demonstrating the look or sound of a certain feature, monster, or other thing in the game. Sound files are not to be overused and whole sections of each and every individual monster sound are not to be posted without prior permission of Big Blue Bubble. In general, images and sounds captured from a game being played are okay, but images and sounds taken directly from the game's files are not.

This is consistent with national and international copyright law. Some of these laws allow for "fair use", which includes things like brief excerpts or quotations used for purposes of review, comment, or discussion.

Acceptable uses of files include complimenting a certain part of an article to show what a part of the game looks like, such as using currency pack images to show what some of the currency packs look like, using Crafting Item images to demonstrate what each Crafting Item looks like, etc.

Do note that posting spoilers of unreleased upcoming content of My Singing Monsters and Dawn of Fire are absolutely not permitted. Blocks may occur if one posts spoilers of new content.

For fairly obvious reasons, we don't want to have to get involved in legal problems. It's expensive, complicated, and time-consuming. We don't wait for BBB to object to something before we follow the rules.
