This is so wrong that I have to object strongly. Copyright laws are less than three hundred years old, so there are no millennia of precedents here. I do agree that copyright proponents try to adhere copyright to the old ideas of "thou shalt not steal", by using words like "theft" and...

Then the fan site policy (whenever it appears) would not apply to ENWorld. So isn't ENWorld infringing on WotC copyright? I mean, the forum 4e Fan Creations and House Rules - EN World D&D / RPG News is full of derivative material produced without a license. And ENWorld is encuraging people to...

That poster would be me. Ah, yes, the Berne Convention. I think you'll find that copyright from external places will be enacted inside their borders, not copyright laws. It would be very strange if I could force a US jurisdiction to follow the details of swedish laws. I doubt a US judge is that...

So, I must ask, do you consider ENWorld a fan site or a business?

Obviously not. But, you are welcome back when you have read up on the law.

I am of a different opinion here. That is simply wrong. If you can't even understand what the word "theft" means, I'll have to give up discussing with you. That whole sentence is just nonsense.

I feel like I'm repeating myself... You are talking nonsense. Ema offered storage space on his server. What has that got to do with being a fan site or not? That's a completly different issue from his use of WotC materials. Like it or not, Ema's site was a fan site. And yelling "STEALS"...

I also understand that he put some text from PH on his site. Whether that was within Fair Use under italian law I don't know. In my book it seems to be a rather minor infringement made by a dedicated fan who put a lot of effort into that site. So, do you consider such a fan your enemy or your...

I take it you don't live in Europe and try to run an ISP here. It's not nice these days. So you destroyed some customer data, that's hardly going to hurt you. Disobeying a C&D and being raided by the police will hurt you more.

I agree with you, but according to that post, that was requested by WotC. And with the situation being what it is in Europe these days, most ISPs comply instantly when companies accuse some customer of copyright infringement. If they don't, they could well be closed down themselves.

So your comparison was essentially pointless. I think we have different views on what infringing and profiting means. Suddenly everyone is making Ema out to be some large-scale pirate. Wizards Community - View Single Post - emass-web.com - Cease and Desist? Not a lot of communication has been...

Now people are getting extremely pro-WotC silly. Ema didn't scan WotC books and sell them. Don't make ridiculous accusations. Ema's site was a fan site, pure and simple. He created some very fine character sheets. WotC sent a letter to his ISP ordering the site to be eradicated, which it was...

This is definitely a DNS problem. Now, when I can get to ENW, the address www.enworld.org resolves to 68.68.204.19 Earlier, when I couldn't get any response, the address resolved to 65.127.163.19 I forgot to check which name server responded earlier, but now it seems to be the regular...

I can't remember seeing anything worrying in the Registry table in the MSI database when I went through it. I'll have another look when I get home. (Now, why didn't I put that MSI on my USB stick?)

For me, the site has been dead the last 24 hours or so.

Thanks!

Linky?

The installation aborts with this little beauty: I've traced it to the portraits and sample characters they are trying to install in my user profile, but so far I've failed to figure out exactly why Windows Installer tries to create a folder which already exists. But there are a lot of...

Well, duh! They still have the same installation bug I reported a month ago. Now I have to disassemble the MSI database again and fix it before I can install. Not happy with their quality control here!
