Copyright Hasbro

OK, I found conquerclub via googling "online risk".
But I am amazed Hasbro has not thrown the copyright lawyers at you.
Unless you have worked out an accomodation with them?
But you've got a community here now. And the lifeblood of the club is in the new maps + forum, chat & community generally.
So are you redy to dro the "classic" map?
Can't help thinking this will protect the future of the site against avaricious copyright lawyers.

Lack has a team of well-trained lawyers and I believe everything so far is well within copyright laws. Appreciate the concern though, and welcome to the site!

You mean Risk (TM), the board game similar to that popular online World Domination website?

yes like china, although the map is essentially a map of the world so they can't hold strong copyright over it.
