#44989, "I have never relinquished my copyright"
Edited on Wed 18-Apr-12 10:44 PM

          

Nor agreed to any terms of service. I don't really care about the copyright, but that doesn't mean it is legally yours to have.

Theoretically I might grant you some sort of license, but that doesn't mean the copyright belongs to you. Either way I don't believe using a service without any notification of terms constitutes agreement to those terms. I honestly didn't know there was a TOS until it was mentioned in this thread.

I am not a lawyer of any type, but I think it is always a bad idea to assert legal rights you may or may not actually have. Especially since I think that perhaps you are confusing whatever voodoo you have to sign to be an IMM and what a player actually "agrees" to.

It also appears to be some standard boilerplate which isn't particularly applicable to CF, but more toward the forums or something. Some weird language in there.

For instance: Carrion Fields grants you a personal, non-transferable and non-exclusive right and license to use the object code of its Software on a single computer.

I would like my copy of the CF object code please?

Editted to add: The helpfile states the TOS is here: http://www.carrionfields.org/terms.html when it is actually here: http://www.carrionfields.com/tos.php

Also your privacy policy doesn't exist in the specified place.

Editted again a bunch after reading it more thoroughly.
