your view on having the truth is way funnier than mine...

:eek::eek:

Just got in from work and seen that people have been busy :eek:

My first hack was great, I went on the dynanmic drive site and found a great Snow script, and with Roms help i released my first hack here

https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthread.php?t=197312

Just in time for Christmas, i thought it would be cool to let members use this snow script, This part here made me smile earlier

Then theres this?? :eek::eek:

Its a good job i'm an easy going guy :cool:

Anyway, just to put the matter right, In the public domain there are many snippets of code, examples and theory's which can be used for many things, the worst culprits are the javascript sites which will happly use the same script and add their copyright to the code, I try and steer clear of those sites as they, seem to just use the copyright idea to promote their sites.

I've bought a few self help html lessons in the past and ideas from those lessons can be useful when coming up with an idea or a mod which was recommended by someone, Bog standard code is not copyrighted by anyone. " weeks ago i had a guy from my forum moaning that my iframe hack is copyrighted?? Since when has the iframe command been copyrighted?? like wise if i see a code which i can use in full or in parts i will do, if there is no copyright then thats what i'll do.

Over time if someones says, hang on a minute, Joe bloggs did a script the same, then i will check that indeed he is the author and not someone who simply adds a copyright to a script. if i can find enough proof and have communications with the author then yes i will most definately add the credits.

Like wise if i wanted to publically accuse someone for some wrong doing i would make sure i get my facts right. I don't want to get into a debate over this as this will spoil the originallity of this thread, but You even admitted to me before Punchbowl that you when a little over the top before, and i've told you not to worry about it.

Why bring it up again???

If you go through my hacks, you see that i have indeed added a credit to the author if i've used their code in full or in part, I enjoy doing this on here and helping people, Its not as if i'm set to make millions doing it :eek:

lets try and get back on topic, Its an interesting one if that :up:

/me throw some coppers to UKBL!

and two just hit me on the head :p

Seriously, if the copyright issue is down to us and not vb.org, can we have some control over the downloads, perhaps by adding a password to the zip or even an identifier to the download so we know who has downloaded and for what site. This will identify the original downloader and their details from a warez site?

I've always wanted to say (Mimics Marco) "Your Showing up as Unlicenced" :D

Are we allowed to use any copyright protection within our hacks or downloads??

Apologies second 'hack'. You know the one I mean.

One of the ones before you invented css menus anyway. lol

Wrong again :eek::eek:

can't see where this is going, so lets just keep on topics please guys ;-)

And whats the topic?:D

This topic is comming again and again, as nexialys and lynne wrote.
We(coder & designer) have to accept it, you can't do anything against it....

You left the dynamic drive credits out at first too didn't you? Putting them back was the part of the 'help' you got.

Sorry 3rd mod https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthread.php?t=198078 It's hard keeping up as you release so many!

You put back the credits in the end and it was all an innocent mistake as you explained someone on your forum had sent you the code (minus credits) and you had innocently posted it as your own.

I only mention this because this is a thread about mods being copied and it was started by you and it's something that you did yourself accidentally in the past.

you really don't want to stop by yourself, hey...

post reported, even if it worth nothing.

true, I must confess theres not alot that can be done, it must be nice in a way that your work is also appriated by so many, even if they are not meant to have it :eek:
