Software licenses and their absence

Hello, All Here in the hardware section it seems the issue has already been discussed the legality of manipulation of Spectrum ROM software. In this matter I understood everything, I I’m also interested in the question of the legality of displaying copies of games such as Turtles, Dizzy; programs such as LaserBASIC, TOBOS FP, etc. In the sense that here I am I know that Paul Pavlov had problems with the hoster due to the fact that he had direct links to games. How serious is this question? Is there an expiration date exclusive copyright of the publisher? All questions stem from one thing - I want to post all my ZX warez (that's at least 2 VTRDOS disks) and can I do this legally?

Hello,GriV I am now posting my website for foreigners; it has an intro section with toys. But the section is called intro. After the bourgeoisie my site We looked at it and there were no complaints about it. But maybe they missed it, or maybe Is it possible in Germany??? At least I'm calm about the demos. If you're just on ftp you post it without a site shell, I think there shouldn’t be any problems. And what the hell knows, they are foreigners.

Hello, scl^mc scl> in Russia, copyright extends to all created things scl> regardless of level and quality and belongs to the owner scl> (directly to the author or the person to whom he transferred this right) scl> for life. after his death, his heirs own this right In case of a controversial situation, heirs must prove in court that they have this right was transferred. But here in Russia it’s not easy. Especially if not corresponding piece of paper certified by the natary. Actually, after thinking a little, this is what I want to say. In principle, here in Russia there will be no questions if the person does not derive any benefit. That is, on his the site has no advertising, it (let’s say) doesn’t sell dizzy. What are the questions then??? To initiate a criminal case: A statement must be received from the copyright holder, then of course there will be questions. As far as I know, there are applications from MICROSSOFTA, BUKA. Therefore, during the bustle of markets in They are mainly looking for WNDOWS and WORDs in order to annoy their comrades. And on other programs, even if they are pirates, you won’t be able to initiate a criminal case, because... no statement. Then there is no objective side. If the program is not sold, there is no crime vaabshe. Since there is no intent, that is, there is no subjective side crimes.For those who do not understand, in order to initiate a criminal case it is necessary that there be four elements of the crime: object (what the crime is aimed at) objective side (action-causation-consequence) subjective side (in the form of direct or indirect intent) subject (person who has reached a certain age)

Hello, alexeenko As far as I know, in Russia copyright applies to everything created things regardless of level and quality and belong to the owner (directly to the author or to the person to whom he transferred this right) for life. after upon his death, his heirs shall have this right. if I'm at a lecture on hereditary the rights do not die, then as far as I know the heirs will be able to have this right for another 70 years use. I don’t know about foreign laws yet. but still...

Hello andrews scl> copyright applies to all created things, regardless of scl> level and quality and belongs to the owner ale> In case of a controversial situation, the heirs must prove in court that they ale> this right has been transferred. Let's not confuse copyright with trademark rights. Because they are different things. The second case is more difficult :)

Hello, alexeenko It’s trivial to put things in order on the network - they simply contact the hosting owners, who Based on this appeal, the site is closed. Apparently this happened with a fairly well-promoted site dedicated to the film “Kin-dza-dza”, although I don’t know. But now a new cartoon based on this scenario should be released and the site has blown away like the wind blew away. It’s the same with games, if the authors make a remake for mobile phones, then they Together with his partners, they are “cleaning up the Internet” to increase sales. A Legislation in general as such IMHO does not apply anywhere. Here is the link to recent discussion of issues related to intellectual property protection on "Echo of Moscow" http://echo.msk.ru/programs/dozor/45094/

Hello, alexeenko ale> That is, there is no objective side. there is just an objective side. :) but since this is a matter of private prosecution (probably this was meant), then a statement from the victim is required... br... It’s better not to remember, nightmares will torment you...

Hello, alexeenko ale> That is, there is no advertising on his website, he (let’s say) doesn’t sell dizzy. But what about lost profits? :) however, there is no need to talk about any special benefits here :)

Hello, scl^mc By starting to think in their terms, you begin to support them...

Hello,GriV Gri> it turns out that those programs that I have (Spectrum Gri> of course) - THEY STILL CAN BE PROTECTED BY THE COPYRIGHT LAW Gri> and related rights? etc. If I still post these programs - cleanly Gri> LEGALLY WILL I BECOME A PERSON WHO VIOLATED THESE RIGHTS? which means so Gri> SAME AS zx.da.ru I CAN FULLLY RACK IN THE FULL PROGRAM - i.e. Gri> LOSE YOUR DOMAIN NAME (DOMAIN HOLDER'S REQUIREMENT NOT TO BE Gri> stolen, porn, etc.)? wow. and in general the situation can be considered using an example. you bought a CD with music (film). it says in Russian in white "for private household use only" viewing. copying (renting, public display... etc) is prohibited." that one the same mechanism for games. remember, there is text on game boxes too, containing a similar warning, and when installing the product you must agree to the license agreement, which prohibits these actions clearly stated. only the majority for some reason don’t give a damn about this (including me :)), I wish I could install the program as soon as possible. zx-toys are nothing in this regard are no different, and despite the fact that we received pirated copies fromPoland/Czech Republic...etc. This is unlikely to free you from responsibility. that is why there are no direct links to toys on trd.speccy.cz. history knows example (just look at the site news from 4-5 years ago), when the site was under threat of closure. Now the hosting is located in the Czech Republic (cz). it's the same Europe, where copyright protection is fine.
