Using EA Heightmaps?

[Lennon7777777]

I've had this incredible idea for a world that uses the barnacle bay heightmap that was posted in a thread in the forums a little while back, but I wonder that if I use the heightmap from it, and nothing else from the world but some extracted rock textures, would I be breaking EA's copyright laws on their store worlds and therefore possibly be facing a prison sentence?

P.S. The world I'm intending to make is nothing like barnacle bay in theme, inspiration, or inclusion of EA store items that come with the regular barnacle bay-in other words, this is meant to be completely different, non-affiliated with, and not pirating any EA store items that may come with the world.

No, you would not be put in prison for this.

Hooray-thank you for clarifying that, simsample (you're awesome!), and I'll now continue on with my world free of doubt that I wouldn't be able to release it!
