There is a reason I am user ID 1 and my account creation date is before this site came online.
Alright, here is my 2 cents on the issue, for free. I asked my brother, who happens to be an attorney, about intellectual property which is what is at stake here. He says that any use of IP without strict authorization from the owners of said IP is a violation of copyright terms. Violation of such terms can result in legal suit.
Alright, now that is said, I have seen several times that Bungie workers have said that use of their IP is permissible as long as it is not used for profit. Now, the website Red v. Blue is allowed to sell their dvd's because they are selling their IP which is created using Bungie/MS IP. Now, RvB has expressed written consent to use Bungie/MS IP, and they still put on at the end of each episode that all Halo characters/etc. are copyrights of Bungie/MS.
So, long story short, use of Bungie IP is allowed as long as you don't use it to make money. Do that, and they'll sue you, and not just Bungie, but MS will sue you too. And something tells me that you don't want to tangle with MS's lawyers.
