Sandman Posted June 30, 2012 Share Posted June 30, 2012 Hello Board, This may be a silly question but is there any potential for legal action on the part of individual(s) whose name(s) have been used as those of candidates in a fictional futuristic scenario? I ask because the individuals in question may have different partisan affiliations in said scenario and/or be politically inactive private citizens in reality. As a prospective scenario designer I want to be on top of the parameters of the usage of people's names as candidates. I suppose this concern also extends to the use of their physical likeness. Thanks for any feedback. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mz452 Posted June 30, 2012 Share Posted June 30, 2012 I assume that this references my attempt to make fictional scenarios. If you look at my thread you'll see that I am asking for FICTIONAL characters, not private citizens who are politically inactive or anything like that. I want 100% original creations. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sandman Posted June 30, 2012 Author Share Posted June 30, 2012 This is a general inquiry as I move forward with a scenario of my own. I'm making no specific reference to any projects other designers may have under development. Perhaps the Admin could weigh in on behalf of 270soft? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mithcd Posted April 20, 2013 Share Posted April 20, 2013 Just looking for a quick update on this. Are there any fictional characters being made already? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
