Habbo background = rip!!

[AgnesIO]

only over the habbos.... he could have a seperate picture of the saloon on its own meaning they have no copywrite over it

Yes but if habbo took it from the alt, then they have copyright over the image.

Anyway if people are that bothered about it being 'ripped' then habbo could say the same arguement, and claim you 'ripped' the habbos.

Habbo are using it for profit though, unlike alt artists.

The background was not on sale

Even though, if you make anything that looks like Habbo or you use stuff from Habbo on it, they own it...

[Sulai]

there are similarities... but dont habbo have the rite to do this?

[Captain]

It isn't EXACTLY the same is it? There are quite a few differences and I like the official Habbo one better anyway. Even if they did 'rip' it, what's the alt artist going to do? Take them to court? :rolleyes:

[ElliottThompson]

well habbo definately ripped that saloon building!

[Kyle]

the building is smaller

[toxic]

Yeah, are those donkey's from scratch or are they stickers/used before on habbo? Because those are also the same.

Is the guy/girl who made it still around? They could have at least asked to use their work, the saloon has no Habbo logo or anything Habbo related on it so unless the guy/girl submitted it to them or gave them permission to use it then they shouldn't be using it.

The Background might not be on sale but it is promoting/advertising something that will profit them (an event it might advertise which will end in people buying furni for the event or a product it might be selling), they don't own all of the images used and didn't create it all, it's as justified as the guy/girl who made the alt to go copyright the saloon and then using the whole alteration (with habbo's pics) to advertise w/e products he wishes to sell, because he owns copyright to the saloon.

About the "if you make anything that looks like Habbo or you use stuff from habbo on it, they own it" comment;

If a guy had a McDonald's "Ronald Mcdonald" character on his burger stand, that doesn't mean McDonald's then own the burger stand. The only right they have is to make him take the logo/character down from his stand and sue his ass for any profit he's made since using it.

How do you know habbo haven't contacted the person who made it and asked could they use it?

Really, habbo have ownership over it coz its habbo

[Casual]

What so if i wrote habbo on someone sulake would own them? :rolleyes:
