Habbo/Sulake using other peoples work.

[Verrou]

I don't know why I didn't [post this when the hotel view furniture was released, I did remember. But I guess it escaped me...

Anyway, I don't know if this has been posted or what. I don't think it has because I haven't seen it... Basically, when Habbo released the Hotel View Memorial furni I knew that it closely resembled something that I had seen before. Luckily I had saved them. What do you think?


They were posted on this forum in 2005 which proves that Habbos ones are highly influenced by "fbd"s creations. Here are all of the set.


What do you guys think

Moved by Cosmic (Forum Moderator) from 'Habbo News & Rumours', as this is not news.

'fdb' was a hobba so maybe he solt them to sualke somehow

[Josh]

They are based off the original which is Sulake's property.

[myke]

i think somewhere in their t and cs it says they reserve the right to use anything that resembles their art or something, or if it's something related to habbo they can use it

[tm]

There's many more examples of this too in clothes and other items of furniture. Like Myke says, they reserve the rights to 'use' as they wish anything Habboish more or less.
It is possible that 'fdb' is/was working for Sulake's graphics dept. too to be fair.

[Kyle]

Sulake made the original normal sized ones so they can use these

[Verrou]

Yeah I know about the T&Cs thing. Was just amused by them.

Any alteration still belongs to Sulake.

Thats why they have so much power over fansites etc..

[Mathew]

Impressive - scary how they look so alike!

I know this, just the fact that a multi-million dollar company uses it's players graphics makes me laugh.
