Should I be mindful of issues with copyright like this when making a map? Making a L4D2 map that includes a mall, which includes a shit ton of brand plastering all over and changing it all would require more effort. I've definitely seen brand names/logos in assets for other L4D2 custom maps. Is it just a "small fry" thing? Would this be covered under fair use? Note that I live in the EU.

It's not ideal, but for a community level no one is going to care.
