This was the new RPg "Gloryland" on facebook. League of Angels and Duty of Heroes also use your splash screens and models to promote 'their' game

Ha, it's not even just the artwork. I know League of Angels uses soundtracks and voice clips from League. Specifically, I've heard both Sona's "Only you can hear me, Summoner," and Ashe's lines.

Good luck slapping the Chinese with a lawsuit for copyright infringement.

This is actually much more common than you'd think. I've been painfully aware of this ever since League of Angels. I shit you not that was the name. Had more artwork ripped from League than anything I've seen.

The annoying thing is that use of Riot's artwork is allowed for personal projects and such to better stimulate any community projects, but then these guys either a) don't realize the second you start making money or mis-branding it you're violating the EULA or b)try to make a quick buck

It's sad really.

As if Facebook games couldn't sink any lower... Normally I am against how sue-happy modern societies are, but when it comes to infringing for profit, I have to say I hope Riot bankrupts these people with a lawsuit.

Riot has most likely noticed this. The thing is they deam it to be no serious threat to business. Nobody is giving up LOL for League of Angels, and attendance for competition isn't being subverted to League rip offs. This means Riot would also lose more money suing them then they would gain, If you factor in risk vs reward of losing or winning the case. Lastly It would just give them more attention to be acknowledged by Riot.

Clearly that second picture is picture of Katherine, that old man's dead daughter! Why would you ever think it's a ripoff?

You have to be kidding me.

Google "Vanilla Ice and Queen" and this is basically the argument they have to use it.

League Of Angels does whatever it wants because it's Chinese, and copyright law isn't a thing. Their character creation screen has all the classes from WoW too, and I could have sworn I saw them advertising with a picture of a Gengar from Pokémon once.

I wonder if it's the same company that made the "Chintendo Vii"
