Quote: I see it like this... someone spends time creating a collection of carefully selected demos asking authors for permissions to publish the demos on a DVD which will be sold for "estimated cost". Then spends some time DVD doing some work around interface and stuff and finally after years starts to sell it. That would be quite right IMO. Question is if authors of the demos were contacted etc.. if not, then something is wrong there. Anyway gotta put that collection to "related" it's not a C64 release anyway.
P.S.: Special message for people who "know" c64.sk rules better than me. (the news will be put to related because I didn't receive those 100 eurobucks + 5 copies of DVD ;-)))))
creamd, half of any of the demos on the DVD was more work than the dvd itself.
if all the demo authors gave permission then its okay. But in this case I think most demo creators shares murdock opinion. |

All of the creative work of any scener is automatically copyrighted material when released unless specified otherwise.
That's all I have to say about that. |

Exactly! That's how the law works. |

DVD easier to do than demos. Maybe. Depends on how much work one gives to deail and interface while producing it. I would apprecaite work of someone who would create a decent collection of e.g. the best amiga demos on DVD as I don't have Amiga.
Authors giving or not giving permission, that depends on them, important is to ALWAYS ASK for that PERMISSION. I think some demo-creators wouldn't mind if they were asked nicely. Murdock is known for extreme stands ;-)

So copying an effect - lets say, a DYCP or a 4x4 - is actually a copyright infringementation unless the creator of the original effect specifies otherwise?

But in a similar situation, as an example, when a china guy copies a similar look of a certain sneaker and names it "Nukee" or "Reebak", it's against the law, right?
Gosh, I don't get this at all.

However, DYCP and "Chunky Effects" are not trademarks... Anyone thought about registering these things?

creamd, the dvd in question havent asked for permission in atleast one case, according to hein.
anyway, being part of a society, and then making money out of the free stuff thats done for all members of the society for free... errhm..... khmm...
its not even according to groepaz kinda illegal, its sucking blood of the scene.
