The "Habbo Way" for habbo official fansites to break the law?

Edited by ---MAD--- (General Manager): Thread closed. This discussion ends here.

[Nain]

Yes.. and has Habbox done this? because i cant see Habbox breaking the "habbo way" or the "law"

[Moh]

HabboxForum isn't official, only the main site.

[Galaxay]

Aiding and abetting copyright infringement?

[Dentafrice]

HabboxForum is not an official fansite, Habbox.com is, two seperate sites.

[Paulio]

If it's against the law of corse it's against the fan site way :rolleyes:

You're going to need proof of it though.

[Hayd93]

I am spoken to higher up about this in the form of the moderation manager, a super mod as well as another admin. I have been told that no we do not do anything for things like keygens,cracks ect.

Hope this it cleared up for you :)

[---MAD---]

Aiding and abetting copyright infringement?
We aren't providing the material nor are the cracks/keygens hosted on our server(s). Each user is responsible for the posts/threads he/she makes.

[Bomb-Head]

If it's against the law of course it's against the law :rolleyes:

LOL. :8

Why what's happened? I can't see any law breaking going on :O

[Dentafrice]

Hosting it is against the law, posting links to it isn't ;)

[Galaxay]

Your responsible for the posts hosted on this forum... If theres something wrong /illegal with them you have the ability to remove them or edit them, however you are not, and instead aiding and abetting.

I asked habbo, and about to email a few other places

[Dentafrice]

There isn't anything illegal on them, if it is attached to the post.. that is illegal, if there is a link to something illegal.. that isn't.

It is the user's responsibility if he/she clicks that link or not ;)

[--ss--]

Habboxforum is not officially official, the main site is so Habbo can't touch the rules (As far as i'm aware). But anyway, It's not like there's an section or we've got staff giving out links to things, we're just giving freedom to the users to do so, just like google does when it archives links and so on.

Why did Tv-links etc get sued and closed down, it only had links to other sites containing the info?

"Google is broke the habbo way and the law as it gave me links to a hacking site"
Thats what your saying. ;)

Google isnt a official fansite nor is it related to an official fansite :)

Don't put words into my mouth if you don't know what im saying.

Maybe because the owner was uploading the things to the sites like veoh, so he was responsible. (don't quote me on this, just a guess)

[Dentafrice]

that is right.

[Galaxay]

Maybe because the owner was uploading the things to the sites like veoh, so he was responsible. (don't quote me on this, just a guess)

Even if the owner was uploading videos onto veoh and so on, he would get sued, site wouldnt get closed down...


And nial its asking a question?

We asked our datacenter about it and they said as long as we don't upload the keygens/cracks/software on our servers and offer it to users then it's fine to link to it.

They aren't the law but they should know so...

But my point still lies @ TV-Links was closed for having links to other sites on their site.. and got sued + closed so :S

[buttons]

Uncalled for. I believe that you are going to get alot of -reps now.
I have saved this message on my little "Rep chart" and you shall recieve some of me very shortly.
OMG SCOTT, YA BETTER WATCH OUT LOL.
sorry, he only asked why he got fired! is that really a big deal? :S omg, i'm gonna get some -reps now? :$

[Nain]

Galaxay, why do you always try to make Habbox Unofficial. Its stupid. "oo i dont like clubhabbo, lets try and make them unofficial for urm.. aahh yes Skaterchu robbed cocaine from a shop, ah yes, then he sold them on the site HEHEHEH i like telling lies *snort snort*." (he didnt really)

[Galaxay]

Nain, i suggest you shut up, you're simply looking very idiotic.

How am i trying to make habbox unofficial, i couldnt care less in which position they are in.

And i like ryan so :)

If you used more grammar, I would have understood that, but as you didn't I really didn't get your drift.. :P

[H0BJ0B]

I don't want to get too involved in this but you keep mentioning TV-Links. There must be something else up with their site. I can name atleast 10 other sites who do what TV-Links does and they're the only ones I use. I'm sure there are hundreds of these sites.

[Dentafrice]

PM them to me! :P I've been trying to find one..

[Invent]

SideReel.com is good for TV shows.

[Dentafrice]

Thanks! :) +REP.

[Hiro]

TV-Links had a forum that was hosting uploaded shows/movies.
And they DID host some of the shows/movies on their site.

[HotelUser]

Although Habbox Forum isn't in danger of being prosecuted for copyright infringement, I personally do disagree with users indexing serials, links to cracks/keygens or torrents. It's not fair to the manufactor of the product.

:| Aww, it isn't fair to a multibillion, and soon to be trillion company (Microsoft), that treated Netscape like **** in the 90s, and thinks that their products are the best?

The company that sues open source companies for making products 'similar' to Microsofts?

No, it is pretty fair..

[Galaxay]

Nope its sad and for cheap skates who can't afford to pay the price for the product.

It's as sad as the people who download movies and such instead of watching at cinema/buying DVD. Cheapskates imho.

[Dentafrice]

Okay, I needed Macromedia Director MX 2004 one day, do you think I am going to go and spend $1,228.82 for about an hours work? no.

I'm such a ******* cheapskate :rolleyes:

And i'm not paying $600 either for Photoshop. Or for Aptana, or for anything I use.

[Galaxay]

Yes you are a cheap skate, and for Macromedia you can get 30 day trials :)

[Dentafrice]

Not when I had already used it ;) Duh.

No, I am not a cheap skate, maybe I just don't have money to waste on software? Like every other normal person in the world.

[Galaxay]

If you don't have the money to buy Pizza, do you go to the shop and rob it? I very much doubt it.. It's exactly the same on here. :)

Aw did you have a disagreement with some staff, so now you want habbox closed? Atleast you still love lostie :rolleyes:

Talking about making yourself look idiotic...

Ah but a pizza does not cost £12948230842304823.

[Dentafrice]

No thats not the same, the Pizza shop actually makes each individual Pizza, they don't sit on their *** and distribute millions of copies of the same exact thing on a little disk.

That cost them about 25 cent a CD.. if that much.. and they get $150 out of it..

I've never had a fall out with staff? I get fired about 3 times a year? have done since 04/05 :S

Neither does any program that i've ever seen.

Thats called business, if their successful in it why would they introduce a more labour intensive workforce to waste money so they make less profit to keep you happy? No.

Stealing in any form is completely sad and only cheapskates do such.

[Dentafrice]

Sure. Sure.

I'm not wasting my money on a company that treats it's workers like ****, as well as treats other companies like they are ****, read: The World is Flat and you will understand why.

Or people that arn't spoilt brats.

I bet your mum and dad give you hundreds of pounds to buy this crap.

In a market theres obviously going to be competition, you obviously want to be more successful than you competitiors, so why in hell would you treat them nicely?! Thats just idiotic


Or people that arn't spoilt brats.

I bet your mum and dad give you hundreds of pounds to buy this crap.

That's my business not yours isnt it?

[Dentafrice]

No, actually that isn't the case with Microsoft vs Netscape 1995-1998.

[Galaxay]

I couldn't really care less.

Try not going too much off topic :)

This thread is about the Habbox, law, habbo official, etc, not you being a cheapskate.

Habboxforum isnt official and its not breaking any laws or the habbo way.

[Galaxay]

Didn't say it was, Habbox is though. I emailed Habbo yday waiting on reply..

Why don't you leave habbox.

You are obviously trying to chuck habbox out of official, if I was management I would give you a nice juicy ban.

And this thread is a chance for you to flame habbox.

[PaintYourTarget]

I have driving lessons, Insurance, Car and soon Uni to be paying for, add that to the cost of living and the basic student, like most of us, will no-way be able to afford most of the software for the amount we use it.

And when it comes to films and albums, when I actually get time off to enjoy those things usually my mates don't so I don't get to the cinema - may aswell just stream it and see it 'cause they wont be getting my money anyway.

So tell me, am I a cheapskate too? Because I'm out in the wider world having to pay for more important things?

In relation to the topic, it's be resolved. So, whatever.

I've been banned many times? and because i don't feel like it.

A thread like this is discuss a important issue that habbox are choosing to ignore.

And you're not management so i couldnt care less what you think.

If this thread was about the important issue then you would not be trying to get habbox closed by complaining do you boyfriend Lost_Witness.

[Galaxay]

You jump to assumption kid.

I've never spoke to Lost_witness in my life and never plan on? So try to drop that one kid :)

I never said i'm trying to get habbox closed? lmao.

I'm trying to find facts about it and why they allow it.

No-one would care about habbox (Companies etc) because habbox is a very small community forum? No company would bother sueing/closing habbox because it would be a waste of their time unless they were doing it for the point of disapline but even still habbox is nothing.

Actually, they'll just contact the host and close it down without mentioning it to Habbox until they get in contact, like most hosts do. That's what other fansite hosts do at least. And I don't see where people are saying you're trying tog et Habbox closed down or chucked off the official (which, lets be honest here, Habbox doesn't desperately need anyway). You're searching for info as far as I can see it at least "/
