These cards are obviously copyrighted, they're published by a company that markets them. They cannot stay here. RickK 04:24, 12 Dec 2003 (UTC)

Likewise, the jungle tile is copyrighted. This is what Mayfair has to say about that: "Feel free to copy this image and attach it to cardboard to create your own Jungle Tile!" Same with the volcano tile. At the point that Mayfair itself distributes its images freely, with the recommendation that people put them in play, whereas the Settlers of Catan article is merely informational and intended to fuel interest and sales to boot, perhaps you need to find bone to pick somewhere else!

Just because they have released the tiles for your personal use as a valued customer, doesn't mean they have released the image for inclusion in a comercial online encyclopedia. Based on what is on this page right now, I could print out my own copy of the game and play it, and not pay Mairfair anything. I don't think that's what they had in mind when they said, "Feel free to copy this image and attach it to cardboard to create your own Jungle Tile!" Gentgeen 22:44, 12 Dec 2003 (UTC)
