Re: The Euphoria Sub Commander project
Hi
It seems that I have fallen at the first hurdle of copyright.
The splash screen is a graphic from a website, www.sunbmarineresearch.com ,
so I emailed the contact, very coureously I may point out, to request the
use of the graphic, explaining the use, and pointing to the location of the
files.
This is the reply I received
"All of the images and written material on www.submarineresearch.com are
copyrighted. I am constrained to expressly forbid any duplication of the
images or material on the subject website including electronic or otherwise
duplication. Your request is denied and any infringement may lead to
litigation. Edward Monroe-Jones, Director."
So, Rob, could you please remove the project from the recent user contributions
. I apologise for any inconvenience this may have caused. I shall draw the
splash screen myself, avoiding looking at any images of any submarines, and
shall endeavour to seek approval before posting any copyrighted images.
I would also request that anybody who has downloaded the file re format their
hard drives immediately, and send a letter of grovelling apology to
Edward Monroe-Jones.
If any one thinks they see a note of slight bitterness, they are absolutely
right, while I fully support the right of anyone to protect their work, I
believe this attitude was high handed and aggressive, and not using the
graphic will now not lead anyone who use the program to the site, whereas I
was more than willing to not make any money from it, and give full accreditation
to the author and the site.
But that's just my opinion.
Chris
