Respect & Community

Honoring Del Lago Academy

Del Lago Rebuilt is a student-created tribute, inspired by the real Del Lago Academy. The project is not official, nor is it meant to replace, compete with, or misrepresent the real campus. The physical school and its community will always hold greater importance.

Acknowledgment of the District

We thank the Escondido Union High School District and Del Lago Academy staff for maintaining the real spaces that inspired this project. Without their dedication to education and student growth, projects like this would not exist.

Encouraging Creativity

This game was built as a way to practice skills in 3D modeling, design, and coding. It represents how the Del Lago community inspires creativity and innovation in its students.

Boundaries

• No official logos, mascots, or school branding are exactly reproduced.
• The project is non-commercial and exists solely for educational and artistic purposes.

Respect in Play

Players are encouraged to treat the virtual campus with the same respect they would show the real Del Lago Academy. This is a space to celebrate school spirit, community, and creativity in a positive way.

Legal Justification for the Del Lago Academy 3D Game Project

Overview:

The Del Lago Academy 3D game project is a student-created, non-commercial endeavor aimed at replicating the school's campus for educational and entertainment purposes. It includes humorous elements and Easter eggs to engage users. This project is protected under multiple provisions of U.S. copyright law, including the fair use doctrine and specific exemptions for educational and architectural works.

1. Fair Use Doctrine (17 U.S.C. § 107):

The fair use doctrine allows for the use of copyrighted material without permission under certain conditions. The four factors considered are:

• Purpose and Character: The project is educational and transformative, adding new expression and meaning.
• Nature of the Work: The replicated elements are factual and functional aspects of the school's campus.
• Amount and Substantiality: Only what is necessary to achieve the educational objective is used.
• Effect on the Market: The project does not substitute for any official school materials or services.

2. Educational Exemptions (17 U.S.C. § 110):

Section 110 provides exemptions for the performance and display of works in educational settings:

• Section 110(1): Allows for the performance or display of works in the course of face-to-face teaching activities at nonprofit educational institutions.
• Section 110(2): Permits the performance or display of works in the course of distance education, under specific conditions.

Given that the project is created within an educational context and is used for instructional purposes, it aligns with these exemptions.

3. Architectural Works (17 U.S.C. § 120):

Section 120 addresses the scope of exclusive rights in architectural works:

• Section 120(a): States that the copyright in an architectural work does not include the right to prevent the making, distributing, or public display of pictures, paintings, photographs, or other pictorial representations of the work if the building is located in or ordinarily visible from a public place.

Since the school's buildings are publicly visible, creating a digital representation of them falls within this exemption.

Conclusion:

The Del Lago Academy 3D game project is a lawful, educational, and transformative work protected under multiple provisions of U.S. copyright law. It does not infringe upon any exclusive rights and serves as a valuable educational tool.
