so i have this question if I wanted to make a map in UEFN that had copyrighted characters in it but they are already in Fortnite like ,Dragon Ball or rick and morty would that be allowed would that be allowed
Hey there @barbastineyt! It seems like if it has to be imported and isn’t accessible outright, it falls under third party IP terms. (I am not a lawyer so I will leave this to your interpretation) The relevant parts of the terms are here:
1.15 Respect IP Ownership - The content you create, publish, or use cannot infringe or violate someone else’s rights, including their intellectual property rights (such as by infringing another’s copyright or trademark). You must own or have obtained the necessary rights to share and publish the content, and any such license must be broad enough to grant Epic a license consistent with the Fortnite EULA and UEFN Supplemental Terms.
6.1.1. Infringing Content. You may not: (a) publish UEFN Content that infringes on copyrights or trademarks, including UEFN Content that includes third-party intellectual property (such as copyrighted material) or the UEFN Content of other Creators; or (b) incorporate or feature third-party intellectual property, including third-party intellectual property that appears in Fortnite (e.g. the Content of other Creators), in marketing or promotional materials related to your UEFN Content unless you have permission from that party or are otherwise legally entitled to do so. You and you alone are legally responsible for the UEFN Content you make available to users.
Here’s a link to the supplemental terms, and note that Fortnite’s terms themselves also apply.
