[Adzeh]

Erm, please give me some proof, with exact creation dates and file information.

Until then, the banner stays thanks.

A. I'm pretty sure no one has stolen your alteration.

B. I'm pretty sure you need to ask for proper copyrights and actually purchase them. Legally binding ones anyway.

B. You're incorrect, you do not have to purchase copyright check out the human rights thingy on the governments site however you have to buy a TM mark ;] Copyright is free.

Most of you are saying oh if you don't have copyright on it you can't do anything, well on Habboxforum if you 'rip an alt' you get it removed and infractioned so they should do that if it is the case anyway.

[warn]

I study copyrite law and business law and heres an extract for you.

The 1988 Copyright, Designs and Patents Act

Acts that are allowed
Fair dealing is a term used to describe acts which are permitted to a certain degree without infringing the work, these acts are:

• Private and research study purposes.
• Performance, copies or lending for educational purposes.
• Criticism and news reporting.
• Incidental inclusion.

So lets say you are right and they have put it on without paying any due attention to your work, this would fall under incidental inclusion as they haven't dont anything dishonestly, for example, they havent asked you for permission to use it, and you denied, so they turned round and said 'sod you, we will use it anway.

People where unsure about how you get copyrite ...

When rights occur Copyright is an automatic right and arises whenever an individual or company creates a work. To qualify, a work should be regarded as original, and exhibits a degree of labour, skill or judgement

However an alteration would certainly NOT be classed as this and thats a definite answer and not just a judgement.

So you hold no copyrite, infact Sulake could persue you for breaching their copyrite which is completely solid and have you repremanded for using their imagery without permission.

[It is an offence to perform any of the following acts without the consent of the owner:
Adapt the work.] The 1988 Copyright, Designs and Patents Act


Hope that helps.

Want to question anything just PM or take a look at the act itself.

Okay im annoyed and about to take copy right action agaist habboxlive if they do not sort this out as they have ripped a alt of mine that was copyright protected

Its the alt of the girl on the dj decks in the banner

Well just looking at the banner below at least 90% of that would be copyrighted to habbo hotel. the graphic equalizer thing was ripped from an old radio site and I am pretty sure the speakers are from another alt not that i would own up to them.
The conclusion is you should remove the image from you so called site for stealing everything from other sources. WELL DONE :eusa_clap

i study copyrite law

You specifically study copyright law, yet you're unable to correctly spell "copyright"?

[Dotals]

It was on the habbo homepage so how did you rip it?

And is it the banner? Its only a banner and its not habbox's fault, BOGD4N made that banner, idiotic girl.

[scubadiva]

It says on the Habbo homepage that Sulake allows you to use and alterate their images, so they can't sue you for using their images because it specifically states that you can

Lol!

Hmm so maybe now habbo may of taken it but its kinda werid cause it has actually the same errrors i made and if habbo made it there wouldnt be any also i think that wsomeone must have save it from my old website which was
