Copyrighted means that the work is copyrighted for ALL usage unless otherwise specificed which it isn't at "the end of games". However, you might be able to argue for "Fair usage" as described here:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Copyright

That is besides the point since the original point was for Intellectual Property was infringed, NOT Copyright.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Intellectual_property

Yes i agree with this i guess it is about Intellectual property, then again if such actions have to be taken against zion, it would be carried out by nintendo, and accusing him for the infrigment will prove to be nothing unless nintendo wants to do something about it

Please now enjoy the game, you dont have to pick at the laws about it

What you accuse is not doing anything, and if we want something to be done, nintendo must do it

Then don't bring them up in a thread especially when you quote mis-information. I am not accusing anything, just correcting your infromation.

Ok let me elborate on this whole steal the art thing

Now quzar said
"It's sad that you choose to show homage by stealing intellectual property."

yes very good choice of words, but infact they are pretty off

To start there are many, many games being released. Some people, who are what we call "fans" decide they want to make a type of clone of the game. Now the person does take art work from the original game to make the game. So far so good. the person is, obviously not using it for any commercial benfit rather its enjoyment. Now Nintendo does copyright there things, but how come there are so many flash games and other types of games that may be familiar to the original. Well if i could explain this in the ending credits of any nintendo game it says " the game, music and something else, i need find out what it says is copyrighted by nintendo" now if we go into this copyright, it only applies to if the person uses the actual game for commercial benefit S-O what zion has done here was make a clone of zelda, true he used the art work
but, nevertheless he did code it all. Now what he did was use art, am i correct?YES
He did use the concept of the game am i correct? YES, BUT is he selling to us? NO

AND DID HE START THE CODING OF THE GAME HIMSELF? Y-E-S

There is no commercial game being made here, some ripped graphics of a game, which are copyrighted only against commercial use, So everbody lets use our common sense please, give the credit for the coding of this game, whereas u dont need to say "great artwork zion"

This is zions game, just not his graphics

So in the end my freind quzar, what you said was very futile, i must describe it as stupid

and if you are trying to provide insight on a game, saying its artwork is ripped is very obvious and its not like anyone can think for themselves

And if im not blind zion gave CREDITS for the SPRITES

[Tetris999]

bugs

Shoulda went into more detail, i expect bugs because its an alpha, im playing to see if there are bugs

Oh and yaustar, im defending against such allegations, and such, i do not wish to bring these accusations up myself if i must say

and yes, thank you for correcting me

[Vega]

What you accuse is not doing anything, and if we want something to be done, nintendo must do it

Agreed. Though the internet is always going to be full of hypocrites who will make it their only mission to force copyright jibberish at coders, yet these same people download many roms and iso's. Its a damn shame that people cant enjoy the product instead of making deliberate posts intended to start a flamewar over something that they basically have no control over and can not do anything about.

BTW Zion, you already got my feedback on MSN

[mr_nick666]

It's sad that you choose to show homage by stealing intellectual property.

Im not sure in all the time Ive been here Ive ever seen you post a constructive comment

The real question is, who cares what Horace thinks?

More people than seem to care what you think Id say... You changed your user name but not your attitude

Quzar, maybe an apology is in order?

:rofl: And monkeys might fly out of my butt!

Awesome work Zion, your game looks very nice ! please, ignore those flamers ... and keep it up ...

/\ /\ THIS is what counts The comment from a truly respected coder

Keep up the great work Zion :thumbup: This is shaping up to be a great game (its amazing considering its in LUA! )

Dont let the b*stards grind you down

[Tetris999]

All of this arguing is very stupid, people are saying the people who made tetris as a game for the xbox, and all those other systems should say such company's should be sued as you could relate to a game that is being made for fun...

Hopefully this will be the final point on this subject.
It's a damn shame when a DCEmu STAFF member's commnets have, intentionally or unintentionally, caused a huge flame-fest and the said member of staff will not even retract the malice that was in the comment. Whether the malice was intended or not is irrelevant, the fact is the comment could be, and was taken as offensive by more than a few members. An apology, if not a retraction of this comment, should be issued. The bottom line is the comment made is true about the majority of all homebrew on the majority of systems, but this thread was chosen to vent it. All ways out, that is unfair and whoever made the comment should be accountable.
This is the first time I can remember being dissappointed in any DCEmu staff member.
