First of all to finish the Nod/NOD stuff. ACK is right in his corrections. Using the quotes that SpartnII gave:
http://westwood.ea.com/games/ccuniverse/tiberiansun/NOD/main.html
In this link, it proves by itself that it's Nod. Here's a few quotes from that page. These are direct quotes (copy and paste), all I did was bold the important parts:
Though Kane is no longer with us, his vision lives in our commitment to our Nod Brethren.
The Brotherhood of Nod desires a world of peace, unity and eternal fraternity.
Oh, but wait! Doesn't the top of the page say "THE BROTHERHOOD OF NOD"? But wait! IT'S ALL IN CAPS, THAT DOESN'T MEAN THAT IT'S AN ACRONYM!
As for the secod link: http://westwood.ea.com/games/ccuniverse/tiberiansun/NOD/html/sub1.html
Notice it has Kane, Nod and GDI all capitalized? There trying to point out the major factions of the game. As for the link having NOD... so what your saying that Tiberium Sun is spelled tiberiumsun -with no capitals? And that Westwood is spelled westwood -again with no capitals? After all, if it's in the link, it must be true.
So as you can see, SpartnII actually helped ACK's position in this matter.
As for the copyright stuff, I need to do further research on the matter, and re read the posts relating to this discussion, then everyone can make a well informed decision regarding the law rather than assuming that they know it. Though didn't someone try to make a starcraft mod, or suggest one, only to get shut down by Blizzard?

What if he doesnt use the same exact names and models everything his self?

You can do, believe me. you can and nobody will be bothered. I know this to be the case. just trust me.
|
I'd do it....I dont know how a mod for any game...can be stopped once it's made.
And you Can't get sued for something that makes no money...unless it's an original piece of software that's pirated...and mod exchanges isnt part of pirating

Just read this: http://www.3dactionplanet.com/features/q3dmhellchick/iplaw/
also, try this analogy for size:
Make your own cartoon using Flash. Base it on the Simpsons, Mickey Mouse, any well-known characters. See how long it takes for you to get a C&D order after you release it.
Whether you understand it or not, mods get shut down for breaching copyright. You are using someone else's property. They have a right and an obligation to prevent you from doing so. If they don't, then they could have problems later on if they have to defend it in court. Copyright has to be actively protected.
Another example: You make a Renegade mod, based on your own original ideas. Then you notice that someone else has taken your ideas, and used them in their own mod for another game without asking permission. Do they have the right to do this? Of course not. You own that copyright.
Obviously, there's no guarantee that EA will shut down a TS mod, or a BF1942 mod. You just need to be aware that they can.
