>Our purpose is to inspire writers, artists and thinkers. To create a vision of the future that is plausible at every level, internally consistent and abides by the accepted facts and theories in the physical, biological, and social sciences. We embrace speculative ideas like Drexlerian assemblers, mind uploading, posthuman intelligence, magnetic monopoles, wormholes and the technologies, and developments that will make all this possible.
Just looking at anything on that site means that if you happen to use any similar ideas you're at risk of violating copyright. It seems kind of like the same reason why none of the dolphin emu Devs can even look at the nintendo leak. You'd have to then prove your ideas are original and not lifted from Orion's arm.
Wow. So considering the edge case in which something contributed to this universe gets popular (consider a novel which becomes a screenplay), what would prevent this entire concept from becoming a minefield of asinine copyright litigation?
