This is a very old topic...
I just want to say to people who says this person is being sued over a code.
In laws with the states and copyrights, HTML,PHP, anything to do with coding using those will not stand up in court, they are not really copyrighted because you CANT get a copyright on codes. However if you were to copy a graphic you can very well be sued for stealing theyre art and work, but not htmls,php coding. It's free to use by anyone!
As for those who are copying others codes, theyre really isnt alot anyone can do to prevent them from NOT doing so.
LMAO thanks Spirit38 I thought I was going to have to put a big post on here with the copyrights rules and regs. But you could not have said it better. As far as you go zero-Affect I have a degree in Law so don't try and tell me to look some thing up, and one other thing Your crapy english copyright does not have any hold in the USA. See here in the USA you have to have papers saying that your art is copy righted and like Spirit38 said ANY FORUM of Web Site coding can not be copy righted. and my friend That also goes for your english copyright....
FOR EVERY ONE ELSE> Just because you see a copy right logo on some one site does not mean that its copy righted. YOU CAN NOT COPYRIGHT ANY FORUM OF WEBSITE CODE. just a small why you cant.. because it would be useless. all you would have to do would be change one simple word in the code and the copyright would be out the window, and in a code that would be easy,,,.,
