1  The Pirate Ship / ARR! / Take a look at this! on: 2007 August 19, 17:33:58
Quote from: "calalily"


It doesn't say anything about uploading, or downloading, and anyone who has visited the booty doesn't think that the lovely pirates here made this stuff.  Intellectual property doesn't mean total and complete control forever.

I'm just right now looking for some caselaw that states that derivative works from software are required to be stand alone objects in order to assert any rights over it, and that copyright subsists in software code.

Just give me a couple of hours, maybe a couple of days, and then you can disagree with the Ninth Circuit Court of the US.


I am not here to argue, all I want is to be able to share my point of view without all the silly name calling you all like to do...

You obviously havent read EA's Terms Of Use, if you scroll down to Proprietary Rights; Copyrights and Trademarks http://legal.ea.com/legal/legal.jsp?language=en

I'm another lurker with an opinion,

This is how I interpret the New EULA.


With the Non-Commercial use now gone,

The .package ownership definition now gone,

you now own your own work and nobody has any rights whatsoever to fileshare it without your consent.

The New EULA states "Your License is limited to the intellectual property rights in the Software".


EA gives nobody (including themselves) the ownership of their work according to the new EULA, basically leaving that verdict up to a more general law - namely the inernational copyright law and EA's own Terms Of Use.


EA's Terms Of Use on this case clearly identifies the original author as the Intellectual Property holder and forbids you from uploading anything you do not own yourself to the Exchange or any other EA service.


The international copyright law grants you the Intellectual Property rights the second you've created an original piece of work.

I'm guessing they mean a lot of people like that site, not that they back them.



Maybe you're right, but I would have thought then that they would have worded it.....
