I recently volunteered at my local elementary school's book fair and encountered a couple books based off of video games including, but not limited to; Minecraft, Pokémon, The Legend of Zelda, Fortnite, and in the case of the Minecraft books they would have a message on the back saying "This book is not authorized or sponsored by Microsoft Corporation, Mojang AB, Notch Nevelopment AB, Scholastic Inc., or any other person or entity owning or controlling rights in the Minecraft name, trademark, or copyright." while sporting the Minecraft and Scholastic logos. Replace Minecraft with the name of other games anf their respective holders. What's with these books, are they illegal? Or is there some loophole that they're exploring not to get sued?
