And yes, you could be sued even if you don't make any money with the game. Making money or not is beside the issue of using copyrighted material. | |

If I for example copy part of a game's sprite and create the rest, would that still fall within the boundaries of copyrights and/or trademarks? Also, can I still be sued even if I'm not making any money with the game (except for microtransaction)? | |
