Guidelines for Use of "ESO" and art on youtube, twitch, etc.?

scorpiodog

Is there anywhere online where Zenimax has guidelines for fan use of the ESO name, art, etc in fan websites, videos, etc?

For example, can you use "ESO" as a part of a youtube channel or twitch channel or domain name, and can you post ESO art on it?

I remember there was a group that had a youtube channel "We Are ESO". I'm not sure if you can use a name like that, or if you need special permission to use a name like that (if so, who do we ask), or if you absolutely cannot use a name like that.

I'd prefer written guidelines, but what is generally accepted by zenimax would also be fine.

Sorry in advance if I posted this in the wrong place. Didn't know where to post it.

Did some searching of the forum and answered my question I think

The following post was from "Nestor" in April 2015

One thing to keep in mind, is ZOS wants screenshots and videos of the game out there. It's free advertising and bandwidth they don't have to pay for. Someone mentioned above, if your not making a profit directly from their work, they are going to leave you alone. Note, profits generated to maintain a website is usually included in this, leave the fans alone attitude.

BGS has always been fair about people using images and game content on their websites if it is from Fan Interest. They leave them alone. What they don't condone is if you were to go out and make ESO T-Shirts and sell them as a business. I don't even think they go after the Etsy folks who make folk art based on games, as again, that is free advertising. And, it would be pretty rude of them to come down hard on a fan who wants to recoup some materials costs for what they are making. They will however shut down a storefront if it appears that someone is doing something like mass producing an item for sale, like a T-Shirt or Coffee Mug or Figurine etc. I know because I have watched them do it over at the BGS Boards. But I have never seen them go after a Fan Site or a site that is supportive of the game like a Wiki is. They don't even go after critical websites of the game. Just ones that are seeking to leverage their creative output to make profits.
