Forlorn World - interview

[Brother None]

Would you care to read WHAT I said first?

I didn't say "read Wikipedia's article on Copyright Law", I recommended taking a look at their image policy, which is rather bulletproof because of all the shit they need to take into account.

Heh.

Sorry.

Was drunk.

Fair Use is fairly relative to the location of the server (and the user, and the host), so unless things are very clear (as in the case of NMA), it's not particularily reliable (being a German hosting files on an American server run by a German company doesn't neccessarily mean you or the company can't be held liable for whatever you publish on that server even if it is legal under US law).

Don't forget, Odin is Norwegian.

Don't cringe on me.

*cringes*

 

[Ashmo]

Great. Now drunk people cringe on me on teh Intarweb.

I feel so dirty.

 

[frissy]

*stops licking Ashmo* "He doesn?t taste good anymore. Shame on you people.

Are we still bitching about the legal side, or the moral side of the act? (meaning, the bastards tried to trick us to believe they are original?)
________
Medical marijuana

 

[Brother None]

The legal side.

The moral side hasn't been discussed yet.

For my part, I'm suspending interest in both projects until they prove they're capable of doing more than ripping off artwork.

Tchyeah.

For my part, I'm suspending interest in both projects until they prove they're capable of doing more than ripping off artwork.

First of all, we didn't rip off artworks. They were remakes made by our artists, but for our personal use - like inspiration, improving their skills, or simply fun. They were published accidentally.
I'll give you an example - art students usually practice by copying paintings by famous artists, like van Gogh. Is that ripping off the work of those famous artists?

And, if you ever check out our download section at www.forlornworld.com you'll find there a lot of good quality work made 100% by our graphics and artists. And, even sample mp3s from the game music (personally I love the track no. 3).
