well, just telling "you're not allowed to steal my artworks" doesn't hold most of the people from stealing it...bitplane wrote:If you want to make money without being sued you have to respect the Berne Convention anyway, which means not stealing anyone's work.
so you're stealing their work !?!?!bitplane wrote:I bought GTA for the PSX recently, I don't own a Playstation anymore, I just wanted part of the soundtrack as a ringtone.
If it's personal use, it would be o.k. If you publish it, it would be illegal. Personally, I think I'll put a stipulation in a copyright notice that it's o.k. to use a model in non-profit applications if credit is publicly given, but permission is required in profit applications. Nothing wrong with free advertising as far as I'm concerned.If I buy a CD, I believe I am well within my rights if I use that music to generate a mix cd using one of the tracks from the original. I believe I would also be okay if I used the tracks to generate a ring tone for use by me on my personal phone.
but only if it doesn't have a copy protection, you're not allowed to use any songs from a protected CD even for your personal needs !!!vitek wrote:Maybe I'm off base, but I'm interested to see where that is not acceptable use.

)Personal use really has to be permitted or we couldn't go around singing a song that someone wrote, or back up a copy of software which we paid for and is perfectly legal. Encryption is something they added but it's not illegal to break it. It's illegal to publish copyrighted material except under the terms of fair use. It's something like worrying about that mattress tag that says it's illegal to remove. Obviously that applies to the stores selling it. It's your mattress and you can remove it if you want to.Fair use of copyrighted material includes the use of protected materials for non-commercial educational purposes, such as teaching, scholarship, research, criticism, commentary, news reporting, and other content.

It stops them from using it in any way that is against the law and is likely to annoy the copyright holder. I don't see why you'd ever want more protection than that.Acki wrote:well, just telling "you're not allowed to steal my artworks" doesn't hold most of the people from stealing it...
it doesn't stop them from using it, it just makes the use illegal (ok, also protections doesn't really stop them)...bitplane wrote:It stops them from using it in any way that is against the law and is likely to annoy the copyright holder.

That gets a little touchy even in the U.S. Since a computer can actually play the music, you have installed it on 2 devices, which is something like having software on 2 computers when you only payed one license fee. I think it tends to get overlooked in music, though. They really are just trying to keep their stuff off bit torrent which is understandable.I have the legal right to make a backup of a cassette tape but not to copy an audio CD to my hard drive or to an MP3 player.
