Legal Stuff (was: [OFFICIAL] FALLOUT 4 (June 99))

Ok, I was just curious, and a bit concerned.  I've grown up in the
computer
industry, so I'm used to patents and copyrights and any supposed
infringement thereof as being the sparks for nice fat lawsuits.  :o)  My
only concern was that eidos might have the actual appearance of Lora
Croft
copyrighted (in fact, I'd be surprised if they didn't), and thus making
a
miniature witha  similar appearance would border on infringement.  I'm
just
a concerned fan, that's all.

God bless,
- Buddy
