Trading of Premium Suites - a Copyright 'issue'
Thursday, June 12, 2003 by Jafo | Discussion: WinCustomize Talk
I have been contacted now on a few occasions from people being asked to 'swap' their premium, purchased suites in exchange for other 'product'.
This is in violation of the artist's copyright in exactly the same way as Kazaa facilitates copyright theft through MP3 distribution, and is unacceptable.
I attempted to contact one of the people who was requesting such but the email was returned 'undeliverable' [using the Wincustomize site profile's contact email]...but, fortunately for the person concerned I managed to hunt you down so you will now escape public censure.
This thread was intended as a last resort of contact, but you have been spared.
However, bear in mind that the purchase of a product does not usually include 'distribution rights' as well, and the unauthorized distribution is a definable 'actual loss' reclaimable through the legal system.
I think one warning is politic, but future occurrence/s warrants Site access rights revision.
