'Cuz god knows, someone's gonna wanna copy your lame line art drawing and redistribute it all over the internet as their own work. Gotta stop that from happening, dontcha know? --- End quote --- I can't copyright mine because I just cut and paste pieces of the other one around until it became a robot. You can actually rearrange the pieces of his cab into that robot. --- End quote --- Aha!! I knew it! Copyright infringement!! You'll be getting a call from my lawyer! |

--- Quote from: tahnok100 on August 26, 2004, 08:27:18 pm ---BTW, about the copyright. I have seen too many people get burned and have come far too close myself. I dislike cheesy disclaimers just as much as everybody else, but there are too many stupid people on the internet. Or I could just keep my ideas to myself and the no one would benefit. --- End quote --- Oh, my bad....I forgot to tell you that while posting, I would be inserting a dollop of SarcasmTM. What will they think of next ::) I bet we start to see "Warning: contents hot!" on coffee cups from McDonalds or something! Oh, and I'll be hiring Johnny Cochrane to defend me in case I'm sued for poking fun at people. "If he's full of $#!7, you MUST aquit!". And trust me, I'm aquittable in SPADES! :P |

People want something for nothing, and the rest of us have to try to protect ourselves. Maybe it is a bit much for something like this, but it can never hurt. |

I totally understand your desire to cover your ^#@! and attach copyright notices to your work. The world is indeed full of people who are looking to capitalize on anything and everything. I can appreciate the hard work you put into designing something, and you don't want others to take credit for it. But, I like to think that the spirit behind the things that go on here at BYOAC is cooperation and sharing. I can't believe the great stuff people have made available for other mamers. Yeah, there is the possibility that it will be stolen and abused (see the artwork forum) but I believe that is the exception rather than the rule. I'm ok with what you are doing, but if it goes to the next step I have problems with it. Take SuperCade, for example. Yeah, it's a cool design, but I think it should be removed from the hall of fame because of the statements the author makes. Copyrighting the plans is ok, but to talk about bringing in his lawyer... I wonder how many LEGAL roms he has purchased?? If you follow the artwork forum you can see that the ramifications of legal action against each other is only going to bring in the big companys who actually own the rights to all the games, artwork, etc. and make what we do much more difficult. Please don't take this the wrong way, I support what you are doing here. Oh yeah, I'm suing everybody for everything, and the settlement will be everything. I want it all!!! |
