copyright issues in the "sell content" forum

Yes, we would not have any unambiguous means of knowing whether the seller has the rights to sell it or not.

We leave it to the buyers' best judgement and decide whether to play it safe or to take the risk of buying unlicensed goods/services/software etc.

It's like eBay really. Buyers should exercise caution when buying from people they ultimately don't know. And to protect rights owners we have suitable avenues to remove illegal content.

 

Sorry but this is shameful

 

I think that its buyers duty to check if he's buying legitmate thing. The mods and gods cant monitor all activites. I dont think it would be easy for anyone to check if anyone selling a software of other thing have resell rights. Its buyers duty to ask for and inquire for. Mods cant make a second post asking the person that put on some proof that the software belongs to you. I totally agreed with digitalpoint the one who will be proved to be guilty should face some action.

 

1.) Sometimes it's really hard to know if the seller has all rights for his offer so one has to trust him/her. Some sellers missuse this trust and they shouldn't get away with that... but they will, as I was told by the previous posters :-(

2.) What's really frustrating is that if you find out that something that is your work is sold illegaly on these forums. For example AdA found out (through me) that her artwork is offerd illegaly on this forum and all we tell her is that there isn't anything we will to about it because we are no lawers and it's not our problem. I don't think she has a good impression about this forum now. But we don't care, right?

 

everybody keeps telling me why we can't do anything about it (and I understand most arguments) but nodody tries to look at it from the other viewpoint. Imagine you are AdA and you are really the original artist. you find out that someone is trying to make money out of you hard work without asking. you come here and probably think, the mods will help you and then you read this thread. try to see it from her perspektive!

she even found out where the other icons come from

don't tell me that this is no proof at all, it's really obvious what happened here: http://forums.digitalpoint.com/showthread.php?t=178280

and I am just talking about this specific example...

 

i give up now

 

Ada is also involved in copyright issues as the member is using Apple's trademark.

 

Eing?? What are you saying?

This forum is in charge of all posts which they are published, then also is in charge for which designs without the permission of the author are sold, If I want to denounce for using my icons for commercial use will go to the person in charge of this forum.

6. ¿Cuándo una obra o prestación está protegida?
Se protegen desde el momento de su creación, recibiendo los titulares la plena protección de la ley desde ese momento y sin que se exija el cumplimiento de ningún requisito formal.

If you don´t understand the Spanish, translate it !!

 

Yes, you are protected. However, this forum has no obligations unless requested by the courts. Almost any laywer would laugh in your face if you try to begin a lawsuit because you are offering a download, and somebody is trying to sell your work. WHY? Because you yourself are "breaking the law" by violating Apple's copyright, which is definately trademarked.

I can bet that if your site was ever posed as a threat to Apple, they would first ask you to remove their trademark from your work, or they might just jump to a lawsuit. Who knows? Maybe you should ask them yourself what would happen?

 

But my icons are free and I don´t receive anything to download them for personal use NON COMERCIAL , is very different. Yes or yes?

 

No, because you are benefiting from having people visit your site because of such content. Any revenue and traffic you receive are from your content, and Apple's trademark is contained in content you claim as your own. Don't believe me? Ask a laywer.

 

I don ´t get anything that the people visit my site (It´s a blog not a web or a forum as this ) , everything what I do is for hobby, don´t you understand it? , you´re very bad informed.
Before saying some lie please , Find out! Ok?

 

Even if all you receive from the site is traffic and noteriety, it's still a copyright issue.

 

you have started this thread saying that guy was selling your icones now i can see he is banned , max action that forum management can take is banning them from forum they already did it i dont know what u r expecting more.Second thing if u are giving icones for free with others trademark is illegal too , now if i put vista for free download saying i,am noncomercial will it make sense?.Plz regester your products and claim at right place , u kept for free download open to all atleast 1% guys will try to misuse them that is comman.Finally there is 1 option called spy in forum see every min whats happining and how many posts are done,then say how many members team is req to review and approve posts

 

Again? Already I have said it that I don ´t get anything for the traffic in my web (And it isn´t a web is a blog !!! ), I don´t know because you don´t understand me, but is very simple.

I would like that this topic was ended here, because I´m tired of reading to lies.
