Guest Anonymous Posted August 27, 2008 Share Posted August 27, 2008 I recently read an announcement on torncity... "Topic: TC Copyright We have managed to successfully shut down our first copycat website that went against our copyright. We are also considering reclaiming costs and damages. They had taken many of our designs and ideas, in some cases even images and HTML code. This is a warning to all TC copycats, and webmasters that use the popular ‘mccodes’ which goes against our copyright condiditons… We are watching you. " So dose this mean they have the power to shut anyone's site down that's powered by mccode? or just people whom use there images/source?

Floydian Posted August 27, 2008 Share Posted August 27, 2008 Re: Copyright issues - torncity They don't have power to shut anyone down period. What they can do is (but not necessarily limited to) go to the company that hosts a website that has material that might be impinging on TC's copyrights. The host company will likely require that the offending material be removed (if it's a third offense or more, they may shut down the site immediately). It's basically a case of TC asking a company to pull strings for them. TC doesn't have power to shut anyone down, and if you have a valid mccodes license, and you get shut down for having that, then I'd think the sellers of mccodes would be liable for your losses. (I.e., fraud in the inducement. because they can't sell material they don't have permission to sell or don't own the copyright to. So, by definition, for them to sell it, means they claim they have rights to sell it, and hence the fraud in the inducement.) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

radio_active Posted October 22, 2008 Share Posted October 22, 2008 Re: Copyright issues - torncity I admit, i love some of the scripts on TC. The Company mod, the POKER would have to be my favourite, the gangs are awesome, theres just so much good but then there is also so much crap. Lag Multis Lag More lag lots of other stuff. Thats why i made my game, making it like torn city without the lag. =P Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zeggy Posted November 4, 2008 Share Posted November 4, 2008 Re: Copyright issues - torncity Just because you have similar gameplay elements, theme or crappy layout doesn't mean you are breaking their copyright. It might be a problem if you stole their graphics and used them without permission though. But really, there are 10,000 games just like TC... I bet they threatened some poor kid trying to start a hosting company from their basement to stop providing hosting services to the game.
