"this is a bunch of c64 demo-fans trying to spread the gospel" - COOL :) So I want to download this DVD and put it on my server to allow other ppl to download it, to spread the gospel. What's the URL ? I'm also thinking about selling DVD "Digital Relax" with PC demoscene releases (to spread the gospel ofcourse) but I'm not sure if I can sell it in my country, or only in Germany, coz seems that there is not copyright in Germany? Cool that there are ready-to-sell AVIs on Pouet. |

This is not a commercial company trying to make money over 'our' backs, this is a bunch of c64 demo-fans trying to spread the gospel. And I applaud them for it.
I'm sure you yourself could find examples where you wouldn't be happy if someone mis-used your work of art. That why request for permission is necessary. |

@style: piratescene != demoscene
@krill: You should ask the DVD-Maker to send you (and all +h members) a DVD with your Work. If he does, you can upload it, if he doesnt, let the police raid him.

Let the police raid him? Jesus .. Let the police raid all the owners of c64 ftp sites as well then, I'm pretty sure there are a few commercial games on those that shouldn't be there.
Guys please .. don't be bastards. Nobody loses money here, nobody makes money. The world keeps turning.

Thank God for you Dark Judge, finally someone making sense. But as you said the dvd authors are c=64 demo scene fans. But reality remains are we talking about copyright while the scene was created because of cracking and distrebute of them? |

Name me a single demo maker who doesnt have at least one pirated game. |

The law sees the difference between spreading copyrighted stuff for free and selling it. These DVDs have ISBN numbers, what means that sellers/distributors registered copyrights to themselves, without any permission of authors. It's like I would register Pink Floyd records as mine and sell their records. And I could say: "Hey, costs of my work as DVD-Recorder operator are huge, and I pay taxes, I don't earn anything, so don't be bastards, Pink Floyd. I'm your fan!". I'm not saying that the Police should take care of it (however could), but I'm damn surprised that authours even didn't get free copies, when this DVD is being sell in at last 2 countries now. |
