done.

Well I copied and saved them both before you deleted them, so I guess seeing as you're so selfish i'll just post them again myself.

if you do that, that is called plagiarism, is against the law, and could get you sued / banned.

Actually you didn't even copyright your guide and I also credited you in my post, so therefore i'm fine ^_^ Thanks for your concern though.

Anyway, back on topic: was it really, megamannt?

it was meant to be storage although i used it for my room since my first floor an second were full of Nintendo and Mario items but yes it is slightly bigger then the first floor.

It's not against the law since he wrote "minmags bug and fish guide" or whatever as long as he doesnt say it's his, he's not breaking any laws.

Ok seeing as you told me to, I did check the law.

What is not protected by copyright?
Ideas, procedures, methods, systems, processes, concepts,
principles, discoveries, or devices, as distinguished from a
description, explanation, or illustration.

Also, you need to actually register to secure copyright, which i'm assuming you did not do nor would you be allowed to do so.

 

[minimang]

everything submitted to gameFAQs is automatically copyrighted.

If you have a problem with that, talk to the admin of gameFAQs.

plus, it is not a "discovery"... the calendar is not copyrighted, but my bug guide is. It's a work. Stuff used in the bug guide is also in the calendar, and thus, is copyrighted as such.

There's the information on it.

 

[minimang]

regardless, It was submitted to gameFAQs, and is thus copyrighted. so there.

Are you implying that if you copyright something in place A, it loses its copyright value in place B?

that's not quite how it works there, buddy.

I suggest you read the GameFAQs website more thoroughly in future.

What information can I use from other sources without permission?
Without permission, you are still free to use facts and other non-creative information. Of course, you still must provide credit to the source of information in your own guide; if you don't, you are plagiarizing.
For example, you could get the hit points for the enemies in a game from the official strategy guide for that game and post them in your own guide in your own format. These are facts, and not protected by copyright. However, if you were to copy the guide's strategy on how to beat the boss, that would be a copyright infringement, as you are copying their creative work. Copying the format of the table of hit points would also be a violation of their copyright.

 

[minimang]

I know, I said that. I said to credit me, and you did,
you are not plagairizing.... you just threatened to, but didnt. >_>

What is Copyright?

While there are basic laws that protect tangible property, Copyright protects intellectual property, such as artwork, writings, and computer programs, that often do not have a tangible nature of their own. Copyright does not protect ideas, but the expression of those ideas. Copyright also does not protect facts, but only the creative expression of those facts.
For example, if you write a FAQ and submit it to GameFAQs, it is protected by copyright. Your method for beating a particular boss is not protected, as that's an idea, although your description is protected. The number of hit points that boss has is not protected, no matter how hard it was to come up with, but your personal description of the boss is protected, as that's something you created.

I love how you change your story now.

Anyway, sorry about that storm, I just don't like to be accused of breaking the law when I did nothing of the sort. I will end this here seeing as i've proven my point.

 

[minimang]

I said that already. I never changed my story.
Reread my posts. >_>

 

[minimang]

I've just been arguing against the following
http://forums.the-bell-tree.com/single/?p=8056978&t=7082243
as I did copyright it. I never said that you were plagairizing, as you creditted me. I did say that if you didnt, you would be plagarizing, so yeah.
