layout v2

Your wrong actually, because when he made the layout it is automaticcaly copyrighted, and is his work. Therefor, you can only use his work for your own personal use, other than that - you need his permission to display it online and kinda make money from it..

How is it automatically copyrighted. You have to apply for copyright I do believe. Also, he submitted that work to the entity of Habbox, by granting his permission he allowed us to use it and furthermore we retain the right. Did he in any way shape or form say at the time the skin was uploaded that the conditions under which he released it to Habbox was that it would only be used while Barkseh was manager?

Nothing is ever automatically copyrighted. Infact anyone could use that layout because neither the webpages nor the source code has the required copyright notices located within the document.

Secondly, the layout doesnt make us any revenue, revenue is generated by the sale of services that Habbox as an organisation offer to their members for which they pay for or 3rd parties pay us for.

Oh and by copyright law because you have created this layout for another person without branding it yourself and I doubt you created documentation that stated that Paul was not allowed to copyright it himself you actually transfered the rights to him. Considering that Barkseh had used it on HabboxLive which is not legally owned by him nor had the layout been copyrighted previously by you or (if barkseh was allowed to brand it himself) by barkseh it means that technically we are not infringing any copyright laws.

While Adzeh does know alot, and could be right, he is not the official representative of Habbox Management. He could have simply misstated himself or be misinformed. Equally, I could be misinformed. We will not, I supposed, know the actual policy until 8Freak8 and/or sierk intervenes but yeah

your confusing yourself so just leave the thread cheers

[Kanker.]

your trying to act hard so just leave the thread cheers

If every staff member that left and said take my layout off, or remove my work, then no fansite or site would ever stay in tacked. Sorry but I doubt it will be removed until someone makes a better one .

Although work IS automatically copyrighted (http://www.patent.gov.uk/copy/c-claim/c-auto.htm), you, Peter, gave us explicit permission to use your layout, and HabboxLive was your layout's entire intended purpose. Therefore if you decided to take it to court (which I know you're not threatening to do, but if you did) you would lose because we would say (and provide evidence) that you gave us explicit permission to use it under no terms.

Habbox doesn't remove work created for us after a person resigns or gets fired, because it would cause too much disruption and have a negative affect on other workflow.

My point exactly.

So yeah, do we really need to continue this little debate now that both threads have been deemed pointless and the starter has been 'blanked' :rolleyes:
