Copyright Violation Questions

What is wrongplanet's policy on copyright infringement hosted on our linked to on their servers?

Who do I contact to report a violation of the rights of a copyright I hold?

Who is the designated DMCA agent for wrongplanet?

Linking/embedding a work of art is not bloody copyright infringement! It is merely pointing to it. Since the media is still under your direct control and not by someone else, you can still administrate control over it, i.e. blocking direct linking to the image file through a filter or similar feature on your webserver that require visitors to go to your site and then navigating to the media. Now, if someone were to copy the image to their own site, or circumvent such a direct linking feature, well, then we're talking serious copyright infringement.

Basically you cannot go around putting stuff on the internet that people can link to or embed and expect people NOT to link or embed it. DMCA and various other copyright laws does not protect wishful thinking.

All of that is irrelevent to the question at hand. The work was not embedded, it was copied and pasted from my servers to the servers on wrongplanet in its entirety.

Sorry, i got confused with the whole:

understandable

1) Check our terms of service
2) Understand that WP will follow all laws regarding copyright. But make sure the laws apply and are properly understood; I'm a moderator, not a lawyer, so I would rather not be put in a position where I have to interpret the laws.

I think I just cleared the whole issue away, regardless, for other reasons. If you are referring to a different thread than the one I just removed, let me know.

Thankyou for a quick response to the infringing post.

hello this is your brain speaking, there are probably very few origionals on the internet anymore so the bad news is everythings copyied. where this leaves in your plight only you will know
