San Diego Comic Con (SDCC) free Mass Effect coloring page

People actually want coloring books? Ugh...BioWare what are you doing right now?

Wouldn't that infringe on Dark Horse's copyrights?  Why not contact Dark Horse and ask them to send you one?

"Giving away for free" =/= "no copyright trouble." You'd for sure have to make sure that you have permission to upload and distribute someone else's intellectual property.

Still, I don't see why there would be such a problem asking Dark Horse for a copy since they were giving it away for free anyways.  Companies often receive requests to donate promotional items to various things.  If the request is reasonable and made in a nice way, most companies respond very favorably.  It's good for their PR and it is a PR item after all.

I remember a long, long time ago, my sister needed road maps for a cross-country trip she was planning.  She couldn't afford to buy them, so she wrote a nice letter to various travel bureaus across the country asking them for a road map.  Every bureau she wrote sent her not only the maps she asked for but tons of other promotional items that they had on hand... pens, magnifying glasses, stickers, brochures of all kinds and even, yes, a coloring book... all free (even though some of the items had prices on them and were probably being sold in their various information kiosks in those areas).

So no one here has been to SDCC and went to the Dark Horse panel?

Are you aware that there is a quite vibrant market for therapeutic coloring books for adults?

Just notice Nyreen is right behind Aria and they are both exchanging glances.

All I was saying is that if you had to choose between a coloring page or sp dlc, what would you choose? I'd choose sp dlc 10/10 times. I get that, I just think 9/10 times you ask this question to a fan regarding MEA they'll say sp dlc.

In bird culture, this is considered a socially acceptable move.

James pits must really stink. Look at Jacobs face!!!

I wouldn't worry about Bioware/EA's IP protection at least, yeah. Though if anyone's against me sharing this, I'll remove the art from my post.
