Hi,

Just a cautionary note that'll hopefully prevent this from being locked - please avoid any reference to Prodrive or SWRT graphics on this thread, as Prodrive protect their trademarks and copyrights.

Carry on folks - hope you understand why I'm posting this given the recent issues.

Cheers,
Nick.

Prodrive have copyrights on the SRWT graphics, yes. As an aside, they are also assigned to protect the STI brand over here.

With respect to not having stickers even if you have their parts, please don't shoot me! Prodrive have requested repeatedly that we remove anything that infringes their rights, and if they make the request that is justified then we act. Simple as that.

Hope this clarifies things somewhat. Again, I can't comment on prodrive's approach or stance so if you want clarification mail them and ask

Cheers,
nick.

Just use common sense, that's all...

The policy is simple - if something is a blatant abuse of a copyrighted item then the moderators may act if we see it. We will act if the injured party reports it.

If something's less obvious then it's up to the injured party to persuade us that something is wrong by reporting it to the moderators.

The reason for me posting on this is because in the past prodrive have complained about sponsor graphics threads, that's all.

Cheers,
nick.

chiark common sense would dictate prodrive didn't have the copyright on the srwt graphics but they do, as barron says what else do the own the copyright on.

Get a grip and stop just looking for arguments would you?

If you want to debate the fine points of everything then this will get boring. Hey, I'm very bored of all this already .

Prodrive claim copyright on their work. You do not need to have a copyright symbol next to anything in UK law; as soon as you create an original work you are entitled to protection as I understand it.

I am not going to debate copyright law, or trademark law. I do not know or care nearly enough about either subject.

What I can say is that Scoobynet now has a clear policy on this. Prodrive have complained about infringements of their copyright, and we have acted on this. We will continue to act on it when it is sensible to do so and not just for Prodrive.

If you have a problem with this, please drop me a mail because I will not get into debate about this.
Nick.
