Of course you are right but CCP is a Business first and a game second...they look around and seeing money going in other peoples pockets and see a chance to tax it by saying thats ours you can't do that heres a lawyer talk to him and give us money.

theres another post somewhere where they updated EULA or TOS i can't remember what it was maybe it was both that was talking about charging third party developers

CCP also Inflated the costs of PLEX so that more people had to break out the Credit/Debit card thru the use of Sculpting, multiple training, ship skins, more clothes and other things that require Plex


Edit: As a Ex Business Owner i understand (tho they loose content generation by people unsubbing)....As a Gamer i think it's a bit screwed up

if i remember correctly it was 5 months ago since there was a update by a CCP representative ... we getting one soon? ... or is this thread just being buried? ... honestly a game that was just released yesterday that has spaceships might have better support then this

I doubt I'll be bothered to post tomorrow, so I'll take this opportunity to point out that tomorrow marks the one year anniversary of us first receiving a copyright claim against our logo, originating from CCP.

The fallout from this (and others getting similar mails) lead to the current situation.

Lawyers are famous for stretching things out, so that they get paid more. This lot should have an extra glass of whatever ludicrously expensive cognac they prefer to celebrate being able to get away with such an outrageous display of worthless poor advice to CCP.

Maybe someone would make a presentation for fanfest with thread with soonTM function, just to list them and explain them. This one and contracts feedback would be good examples.

I'm really not sure whether to be mad at CCP or sad for them at this point but I do feel pretty confident in saying that your legal team is laughing at you behind your backs.

Happy Lawyerversary, I guess!

Can we have an update if the hilariously incompetent "legal Team" has even been given the watermark proposal yet?

Thread too long to read and doesn't seem to be a final answer from CCP.

What confuses me is this.

If I make a piece of program, I can give anyone the right to use it in their program - including for free in programs they are going to be selling commercially. While retaining the right to use it as I please myself - including selling the the same right to use to someone third.

This is called a non-exclusive agrement.

Why can't the logo be treated the same way? I don't see the difference on picture and algorithm here?

well I know Ive submitted my Logo on 26.11.2013

and was already accepted and just awaiting to be dumped to the database (approved by art team). then this **** happened so everything halted..

but seriously tho, the lack of communication on CCP side is just unacceptable, even for an old enough company who provides service.
I can understand Falcon is doing hes best and fighting it with the lawyers... but its not helpful at all when you yourself stay quiet.
at the very least, communicate with the community even with out a news... just letting us know ur still there and busy about it.

Or just proceed with opening under a 'watermark' rule written up by CCP themselves. Lawyers be damned. Them not doing their job CCP pays them for is really pissing off a lot of paying customers.
