Some weeks ago one german guy wrote to me an email with the question if he can put my games onto his CD which he wants to sell for money. I told him that I don;t agree, because I did the games and released for free, shy someone wants to get the money for my free work ? All actions like this one should be banned. |

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 ;-)))))

I'm still waiting for that e-mail..
On the other hand, I never asked permission to Hajime or Boris, but we (Bml) did win a few guilders to buy ourselves some steaks. Don't know about the other democreators mentioned on the DVD. For all I know, they're surfing the waves in Hawaii. Aloha to them... |

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?
