This is a site (err, sites, they are related) I found while looking through the refering sites stuff in SSC's stats, it's got some good reading but some is taken from other sites, *cough* SSC, AquaZone, HydroWar, and more *cough* but what they wrote themselves is good.

I've been thinking about emailing them about the copying, there is a reason I keep this site online.

register your copyright on the 2l homemade article and send them a cease and desist order! Hey, that's funny.. actually, I would register the copyright seeing as it's only $30, then say they have to pay you some small fee like $2/mo. to use the article on their site. w00tw00tw00t!

Ben · 04-21-2004, 05:56 AM

That's more than I pay for the hosting.

Neuro · 04-21-2004, 10:21 PM

heh. well charge em like $5 a month then, the copyright will pay for itself in half a year.

Freakymist · 04-25-2004, 07:14 PM

he doesn't have to register his copyright to make them take it off, anything you make is automatically copyrighted. :Hey, that's funny.:

Neuro · 04-25-2004, 09:23 PM

I know. but you have to register it to sue.

BlueSmudge · 04-25-2004, 11:02 PM

why would he sue? its not a big deal, just ask em to take it off and go from there

Neuro · 04-26-2004, 05:29 PM

yeah, I know. the guy cites his sources, but he doesn't have doomsoaker's express permission to use the article since I don't believe it counts as being for educational purposes.

Monsoon · 04-26-2004, 07:25 PM

The site says the homemade is from SScentral. I think that they should put a link to SScentral on their site.

Neuro · 04-26-2004, 08:41 PM

not only should they have to do that, they should have e-mail'ed doom asking permission. just like they would have to e-mail me if they wanted, say, my review of the sc big trouble. (shameless plug! :Hey, that's funny.

BlueSmudge · 04-26-2004, 08:59 PM

I think if they give him credit, thats enough. If it bringing him any money, that's all that is legally required. recognition. chill guys.
