Hab auf Magic-League.com folgendes gelesen:

Sun, 9/13 at 6 PM CET Extended (T1.X) #magic-league Master $60 - 1st, $30 - 2nd



Soweit ich das verstehe, gibt's da reale Geldpreise, oder wie?
Wenn ja, frag ich mich, wie sowas finanziert wird, außerdem gab's da doch Probleme mit WotC, oder nicht?

[...]
Außerdem versucht Inn wohl kaum den aktuellen Vampirehype zu nutzen/kopieren, dafür müssten die Vampire keine menschenfressenden Bestien sein sondern schwul im Wald glitzern und den Subtype Fee besitzen....

Probleme gabs schon und ist nicht mal so lange her:

Hello to all of you,

This news message is to inform all of you about impending changes that are forced upon us by the legal representatives of wizards of the coast.
Last friday we received an e-mail from wizards of the coast (wich I will paste after this news message) demanding we stop using wizard's trademarks and copyrights on this site. Also it is demanded from us to stop promoting and linking to apprentice and mws.

To us this means that we cannot continue magic-league in it's current form and name. Therefor, as of friday the judges panel will be deactivated, so it will not be possible to run tournaments of any form for the moment. The rated single matches will stay since you can play that in any form, and we don't have any influence over that.

The clipping of the league will be temporary and as we speak we are discussing different solutions on how to continue our on-line activities in a form that doesnot infringe on any of the copyrights as mentioned in the C&D mail.

Following is the mail as we received it friday (minus the adresses, since hatemail is not appreciated)

Re: Infringement of Wizards of the Coast LLC’s
MAGIC: THE GATHERING® Copyrights and Trademarks

Dear Mr. Moerman:
We are counsel for Wizards of the Coast LLC (“Wizards”), the owner of the copyrights and trademarks for the MAGIC: THE GATHERING® trading card game, including the MAGIC: THE GATHERING ONLINE® version of the game. It recently came to our attention that your group has created a website, www.magic-league.com, that touts itself as the place for “free online Magic: The Gathering” tournament and casual play, using two unauthorized computer programs: Apprenctice and Magic Workstation. These software programs use text and, in some cases, artwork, from Wizards’ MAGIC: THE GATHERING® cards. Your site also makes available free MAGIC: THE GATHERING® cards. Your use of the “Magic-League” name and “magic-league.com” domain name further evidences your bad faith intent to capitalize on the good will associated with Wizards’ MAGIC: THE GATHERING® trademark, and pass your site off as authorized or associated with Wizards’ MAGIC: THE GATHERING® game.

Your unauthorized copying and distribution of the MAGIC: THE GATHERING® trading cards text and artwork constitutes copyright infringement in violation of 17 U.S.C. § 501. Your distribution of unauthorized computer programs designed to simulate MAGIC: THE GATHERING ONLINE® game is a clear infringement of Wizards’ intellectual property rights in the images, layout and game mechanics associated with MAGIC: THE GATHERING ONLINE®. Further, your use of the “magic-league” name for a site enabling free online playing of Wizards’ MAGIC: THE GATHERING® game violates the federal trademark laws, including 15 U.S.C. §§ 1114(1) and 1125(a), by creating a likelihood of confusion with respect to Wizards’ authorization or sponsorship of or association with your commercial activities. Your unauthorized use of the “magic-league” name is also likely to dilute the distinctive quality of Wizards’ MAGIC: THE GATHERING® marks in violation of 15 U.S.C. § 1125© and the anti-dilution laws of numerous states.

On behalf of Wizards, we therefore demand that you immediately cease and desist from any further use of Wizards’ MAGIC: THE GATHERING® copyrights and trademarks, remove and/or remove the links to, the infringing Apprentice and Magic Workstation software and MAGIC: THE GATHERING® cards from your website, and assure us that you will make no future unauthorized use of Wizards’ intellectual property.

Please provide us with your written agreement to the above, as soon as possible and in any event within ten days. This letter does not purport to be a complete statement of the facts or the law and is without prejudice to Wizards’ legal and equitable rights.
Sincerely yours,

Dadurch das MWS aber die Kartenbilder und auch die Magic Database nicht automatisch inkludiert ist das genauso legal, wie es auch die Seite magic-league.com ist. Die Geldpreise werden soweit ich mich erinnere gesponsored und sind nur in einem bestimmten Shop in Karten einlösbar. Aber da ich letzteres auch nicht googlen könnte, muss da jemand anders antworten. Die Chancen dort übrigens zu gewinnen sind so gering, dass ich eher arbeiten gehen würde. ;)

Danke schonmal für deine Antwort!
Mitspielen werde ich wahrscheinlich sowieso nicht, da ich dafür zu wenig kann.^^"
Aber ist schon interessant zu sehen, dass es sowas gibt. Wär halt schön, wenn auch mal Limited Formate mit sowas gespielt werden...
