Habbo cant dooo *Removed* about it, its a Habbo image, it would mean nothing to the host, and thats a good point cause some scammer site can post that image and then trick all the little Habbos in Habbo land, haha stupid Habbos.

Hmmm yes it is a habbo image that is copyrighted. Im not too sure about copyright laws but if they told you to remove it and you didnt im sure they could do whatever they wanted.

Just wondering what would actually happen. Habbo cant really do much except contact the fansite owner or maybe perm ban them from the hotel but whats that gonna do? And if habbo try emailing their host (provided they can actually find out who their host is), its likely that the host will turn to them and say "hey, its their site they can do what they want". What do u lot think? Discuss.


BTW im not doing the above I have an UNofficial badge on my homepage. Makes it look just as good :]

There is a list of companies that can shut websites down. Habbo and Sulake are not on the list. I'll find the list in a minute.

=\ No company can 'take down' a website. But they can request it. If they don't they could take them to court, in theory.
