Quoted from dsuperbee:So it's ok to be totally hypocritical so long as it helps you out in the end.
It's still theft either way you slice it
So what's your point here?
Are you ok with what Guy Pinballeri is pulling here or are you just outraged there isn't enough outrage about other IP theft in pinball. Will you not support efforts to get Guy to stop his pinball IP theft until there is more outrage of unrelated IP pinball theft or are you just trying to raise further awareness of rampant pinball IP theft? Or do you support a double-pronged assault on pinball IP theft - in that you want Clay's rights protected but at the same time you would like to see concurrent efforts to stop other pinball IP theft?
Also do you have any specifics? What other pinball IP theft is upsetting you that you don't see enough attention on?
Quoted from Bendit:No I'm not. Just an example.
You are right, technically selling anything without permission is illegal (and wrong).
There is a difference though, in the level of ass-holeness between the 2 scenarios.
Wouldn't you agree?
I'm not sure "a-hole level measurement" is admissible in court. Theft is theft.
Quoted from vid1900:Copyright infringement is stealing.
No way around it.
The owners of the IP of any and all avatars on Pinside are welcome to take the necessary legal action to get people to stop, but so far they either haven't noticed or it doesn't seem to be much of a priority.
The actions of this small potatoes pindouche however have not gone unnoticed.
Quoted from vid1900:So it's only stealing if the owner notices the theft?
Obviously not. Never heard of anybody getting a C+D for an avatar though so you'd have to figure most people don't care.
And hey I'm no IP lawyer but maybe it falls under fair use?
