Krafty Posted February 2, 2008 Posted February 2, 2008 OK. What is it with people saying MCCodes copyright has expired? Is this true... And if so... Why are there thousands of games out there running on V2 codes and they never get caught? Quote
YoungGold Posted February 2, 2008 Posted February 2, 2008 Re: MCCodes because the owners of mccode could not give a shit...if they did the would have been cuaght Quote
Z?v?? Posted February 2, 2008 Posted February 2, 2008 Re: MCCodes MCCodes never had a copyright in the first place. Therefore, the copyright couldn't have expired. Which also explains why there are so many out there with MCCodes games. Quote
Krafty Posted February 3, 2008 Author Posted February 3, 2008 Re: MCCodes Ok..so half of us guys here don't have licensed codes? Thats nice to know Quote
UCC Posted February 3, 2008 Posted February 3, 2008 Re: MCCodes Its also nice to know that regardless, everyone who did not pay for their license is wrong. Regardless of lawsuits, this software is not freeware and the author intended to get paid for his work. Quote

wolfe Posted February 5, 2008 Posted February 5, 2008 Re: MCCodes i happen to be one who payed the $75 for v1 codes...cause i respect other peoples work.. i picked up v2.0 and paid for it. I may not have liked some of the coding but i do respect that he put the work and deserves to be paid like hes asked. Quote
topmorpg Posted February 5, 2008 Posted February 5, 2008 Re: MCCodes TO educate a bit on copyrights.. Regardless if they sent in for an actual listing of copyright to the .gov or not they still how DMCA rights which was pasted in 1998 and so they hold digital copyright over the product. However they could have simply supplied the script with some encryption in part of it to secure and require it to a specified ip or domain and that would have stopped a friend passing to a friend of a friend. I know no encryption is 100% encrypted there is some china man sitting there getting rich off others for breaking zend and ioncube but its damn expensive if an entire script is setup that way. Also offering a free version and a paid version is a good way of advertising. I myself am thinking of doing that as well. However my free version will not be editable. it will be fully secured down. So for someone with coding knowledge to get the free version and make it a v1 or v2 based on whats available in them like MCCode then they defeat the buying process. Buying latest version gives you all that then some. So in fact that they didn't file a copyright and txt copy of the source for mc codes does not mean they do not hold copyright. They hold every right based upon the DMCA pasted in 1998 to secure digital works for developers in that type of situation. TJ Quote
