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.

About time ppl start putting Copyright in their demos I guess then...This is just so lame, if making profit of the scene, simply fuck off.

Good one, all those demos are available for download.. I don't understand the purpose of a DVD with demos on it anyway.
Besides, frankly I think they won't earn much with it, 10 euros isn't much, packaging is in my opinion the most expensive part of the release.
So, what if the creators get a share.. That will be like 1 cent max. per copy per person, because there are many creators involved. Why bother worrying about lost profits, or worrying about copyrights, this is a hackers scene after all. |

To be honest, I don't see the problem here. First of all, it's not like these guys will get rich off it. Sure, they could have asked for permission, on the other hand: just take it as a compliment if your work is included, and move on. I remember when my cousin told me he had bought a german 64 magazine with a demo by Cycleburner & me on its coverdisk, made my day.
And building on something Hein wrote: how many graphicians have drawn (copyrighted) pictures by famous artists? How many musicians have made covers of (copyrighted) real songs?
People in glass houses etc ..
By the way: a few years ago I bought a similair product with pc demos (in that case permission was asked though). I never ever watched it ;-) |

It would have been nice if they presented it like they did down here:

Atleast there you can find your way to the scene.
(and get it for free aswell..) |
