xwingyoda Posted April 26, 2005 Posted April 26, 2005 Yeah, have checked that. Snefroe, are you signed up there? Could you send them a mail that I'd like to see some kind of copyright mark at their page or otherwise see them being removed? Or better give me the adress of any of their admins / mods? (I wasn't able to find any email adress to contact their staff) Do we (Eurobrick) have an IP right on those??? If yes, we cannot tolerate any infrigement to our IP!!!!!!! Quote

If yes, we cannot tolerate any infrigement to our IP!!!!!!! if Apo is the creator of these smilies, then he can make a case... however, I would mention just above the list of smilies that you only have the right to use the smilies as a member of this forum and only in the context of this forum Quote

Governor Mister Phes Posted April 26, 2005 Governor Posted April 26, 2005 Are all the smilies on this board created by Apo? Quote
The Middleman Posted April 27, 2005 Posted April 27, 2005 BLASPHEMY! HORROR! SMILEY KIDNAPPING! Kill them alllllllllllll. Quote
ApophisV Posted April 27, 2005 Posted April 27, 2005 Dudes! Calm down! 8-| I don't want them to remove the smilies, I just wanted to ask them for putting down a little copyright note! The smilie pack was made for being used by everybody who wants to use them, they only forgot to write where they are from (me / Eurobricks). If they add this, I'm perfectly happy! I already mailed their admin, hope to get response soon. Snefroe, have you already posted there? Quote
snefroe Posted April 27, 2005 Posted April 27, 2005 Snefroe, have you already posted there? nope Quote
ApophisV Posted April 27, 2005 Posted April 27, 2005 Fine. I'll keep you up to date what the mod will say! ;) Quote
snefroe Posted April 27, 2005 Posted April 27, 2005 Fine. I'll keep you up to date what the mod will say! ;) you do know that we're talking about some individual members who are using your smilies, not the website, right? if you don't put a copyright on your own smilies, how would anybody know that they can't just copy any, without mentioning you... Even eurobrick members don't even know these smilies are your property, apo, no wonder people don't mention any one... WRITE A COPYRIGHT ON YOUR LIST Quote
DoubleT Posted April 27, 2005 Posted April 27, 2005 Well alot of sites know its all right to use the smileys, and as apu said, as long they write down that the smileys are from EuroBricks. How do i know this? Well I am apart of the comunity circle, an I email them all, about the smileys *satis* They have even bin sent to the Lego company.... Its no problem, apu did a great job, and deserves to be noticed for that :) Quote
ApophisV Posted April 27, 2005 Posted April 27, 2005 you do know that we're talking about some individual members who are using your smilies, not the website, right? They definitivly ARE uploaded to their forum's emoticon folder! They also included the txt file giving us credits, but nonetheless almost nobody will ever read this since normally nobody is browsing the folders of the server... if you don't put a copyright on your own smilies, how would anybody know that they can't just copy any, without mentioning you... Even eurobrick members don't even know these smilies are your property, apo, no wonder people don't mention any one... Hm.... There IS a copyright note at the main page, which also includes the copyright notes for the forums (which are "just" a part of the main page). But maybe we really need another note at the forums itself... I'll think about this. But for this special case: They definitively used the smilie pack from the main page, otherwise there wouldn't be the .txt file uploaded on their server! Quote
Governor Mister Phes Posted April 29, 2005 Governor Posted April 29, 2005 I'm sure I asked this before but as yet I haven't got an answer. And the question was serious and on topic so I don't see why it shouldn't. Are ALL the smilies designed by Apo? Or does the message board come with its own set of smilies but Apo has customised them to suit the needs of this message board, or has he created them all from scratch? Quote
jonfett Posted April 29, 2005 Posted April 29, 2005 He created them all from scratch, but I am sure he used the facial expressions of the ones we had (plus new ideas) to come up with these wonderful smilies! Jon. Quote
xwingyoda Posted April 29, 2005 Posted April 29, 2005 Yes definitly!!! I'll take this opportunity to thank you Apo for those great smilies ;) You've done an incredible job there ;) Quote
Governor Mister Phes Posted April 30, 2005 Governor Posted April 30, 2005 He created them all from scratch, but I am sure he used the facial expressions of the ones we had (plus new ideas) to come up with these wonderful smilies!Jon. He's quite a talented lad that Apo! Quote
ApophisV Posted May 1, 2005 Posted May 1, 2005 Thanks guys ;) I created the most of the smilies completely from scratch (some inspired by other smilies I have seen) and for those >:( |-/ |-D 8-| :() >-| I copied the face of the original smilie into the head pattern. And the singing smilie was made by Jipay! Quote
Sarg_Kulo Posted May 1, 2005 Posted May 1, 2005 WOW, you made those, they are good. Please make a really crazy face, preferably with the tongue hanging out ;) Quote
