it simply states where to get offical updates for this specific addon to hopefully make users aware that there exist sites out there that like that russian one that give you a trojan. it does not mention donations, payment, or anything else. I belive that it will adhere to the policy, as it is stated here: http://eu.battle.net/wow/en/forum/topic/1820963720 ofc it wont appear each time you login (that would annoy the h... out of everyone). only each time the addon is updated. |
A popup will either anger Blizzard and/or the users. Putting that in an About or Help section of your menus should be perfectly fine.

It looks like they're starting to respond to removal requests, the email I just got was: https://gist.github.com/9e663036fa85d2693a20

I don't really know anything about copyrighting, nor what you put in your letter Shadowed, but surely one should not have to prove ones identity? Bar to override a previous stating that they have the right to publish your addons? On the contrary, couldn't we instead ask them for the legal proof that they have obtained such rights? Are you not allowed to ask someone to take down something for which they don't have distribution rights, if it's not your own work?
|
You're correct, but that only matters if they care about the legality, which they have proven they don't.

A domain's nameservers are not the place the domain was registered. The nameservers are the actual servers that the domain name points to when you type it into your browser -- eg. where the content is. Usually, a host will have a couple of nameservers, which will then do the further work of resolving to the current location of the actual content on one of the host's content servers. My domain name is registered through DreamHost, but I use a different company for my actual hosting. If you WHOIS query my domain, and look at the nameservers, they will point you to my actual host, not to DreamHost. Quote:

Posting a few points from IRC for everybody to see. Specifically about DMCA.
WoA is claiming they have 10 days to comply with any requests to remove content under the DMCA. Master Games International is incorporated in Texas. They own TTH so all US laws apply to them. TTH/WoA does not have a DMCA Registered agent, they do not have any protections under the DMCA. WoA is hosted in Canada but by Tucows. Tucows has a DMCA Registered agent and does have DMCA protection and will comply with DMCA takedown notices. The final most important point. It was WoA/TTH employees that uploaded the copyright content without permission. If they normally had protection under the DMCA, which they dont, they now have ZERO protection under the DMCA because they violated it themselves. DO NOT ACCEPT ANY BULL**** FROM THEM ABOUT VERIFYING AUTHORS OR DELAYS IN REMOVING CONTENT! Send your DMCA takedown requests to Tucows for best results. WoA/TTH are legally up **** creek without a paddle in a kayak made of cardboard. Tucows DMCA agent email: [email protected] |

Totally missing the point as per usual. Quote:
We'll leave them alone when they remove our copyrighted work thankyouverymuchandgooddaysir |
Ah, a reply from wowaddons in response to my request that for the time being he turns nUI's download link into a link to the wowinterface page until Scott is able to make the decision himself whether he wants to host his addons there.

What's Truly Awesome (TM) is that they illegally grab All Rights Reserved materials, then require the authors to verify they own them before they'll remove them!

Normally to find the webhost you ping their domain to get their ip. Then do a IP Information on their ip address to see who its assigned to.
