Yeah I downloaded a Photoshop trial, hacked it and got my full copy of Photoshop, sure am glad you guys agree with me. Think this thread’ll hold up as legal evidence that I’m in the right? Wanna show it to the judge, cheers.

30

last time i checked a Photoshop TRIAL version is FREE to TRY, no purchase involved, therefore there is no debate…that would certainly be illegal because you never purchased anything in the first place, nice attempt though.

31

If I’m not mistaken isn’t there already a thread that is debating the shit out of this same topic?

No it’s not, but it is illegal to upload it to youtube. Cleared up? Cool.

What I’m talking about has nothing to do with DLC. Technically speaking, us uploading any videos of the the game at all is on iffy legal grounds. If Capcom for some reason or other wants to take down my combo video made of my unhacked, vanilla SFxT game, they do have the rights to do that.

Using methods like repitching the audio, reversing the image, etc. to “protect” the video from being taken down is not a form of legal protection, it’s a method of avoiding detection by the automated system. Again, don’t assume that just because you’re getting away with it makes it legal.

34

Nice try Capcom… Nice try.

35

this thread isnt intended for the debate of the topic, in fact the only part that is important is that the quotes in the OP will make it so your hacked videos cant be removed.

eulas dont mean shit, they have no legal bind, its why soul calibur 3 had a million color/texure hacks. next time maybe capcom wont make the mistake of putting DLC on disc.

36

***All of this talk about shit being legal or illegal still dont change the fact that its greedy as fuck how they want 20 more bucks…:coffee: ***

37

^ thank you.

38

the shitty name is a dead give away that its a capcop LOL even more proof people should do this shit to their videos ASAP and start posting how to’s and such in other places.

39

I think this all roots back to SOPA and PIPA to a extent…if you look at the bigger picture. however out the scope of those two, the debate whether or not tampering with the contents of a purchased piece of content is illegal or not…well…

watch all 3 parts to get a better understanding on what your talking about before saying Pirating is legal…

40

This… I agree with. Fuck Capcom.

41

So by MFGK’s logic i can upload anything i payed for to youtube say what he said to and they can’t remove it, that’s what he is saying right?

42

I’m going to go ahead request mods to close this thread on the grounds that MFGK is trolling all of us very successfully, and I want to hide my embarrassment for falling for it ASAP.

43

i never said it was. but you said no copying period.

no they dont. they just flat out dont. you can do this : “Copyright Disclaimer Under Section 107 of the Copyright Act 1976, allowance is made for “fair use” for purposes such as criticism, comment, news reporting, teaching, scholarship, and research. Fair use is a use permitted by copyright statute that might otherwise be infringing. Non-profit, educational or personal use tips the balance in favor of fair use.” to protect yourself. that… might even apply to these videos itself tbh.

the video is to educate that characters exist, and this is how you use them or do their trial all 100% fair game to upload to yt capcom cant do shit about it.

EDIT: fixed OP. theres no arguing with that copyright disclaimer section.

44

Damn, everyone is a lawyer today…

Thought I was the only business major here…

45

The abject tool factor is high.

Awesome, so you agree that if you upload videos you cross a noticeable and enforceable line. That was the only point in my very brief comment.

The images are copyright Capcom. Anything they let us do with them is by their grace and kindness. If you do not like this world’s reality, that sounds like something you should take up with the courts and/or YouTube, who will generally shut your video down upon request so fast it’ll make your clueless head spin. Been there, done that, bought the t-shirt (for both sides of that equation).

If you do not believe that this is the case, then you have the option of you yourself putting up content and then challenging the takedown request. Put your money where your mouth is. Report back on how that goes.

Cool. And I bet you’re probably in your teens and have done little to no personal investigation in the matter, let alone talking with a lawyer, and are just generally talking out of your ass hoping to let other people fall on the sword for you.

If you don’t want to buy exactly what you bought, DO NOT BUY IT.

If I get a unlockable disc of Adobe Premiere and hack my way into unlocking that, or other nerfed version transmogrified into the full version, I am actively pirating that piece of software, no matter how much my uneducated ass will ignorantly shout otherwise. Thanks for playing.

Yeah, probably not. Probably I have not been highly involved with music and copyright law in the past decade I’ve worked professionally on tools to rip music and video. I’m sure your unfounded opinions better my own direct conversations with lawyers upon the subject. :tup:

I am not a lawyer. I do write software in this field, and the content and features we can deliver are directly influenced by the law of the land.

If you care about this issue, get involved. The EFF is always interested in more activists. But do get informed: copyright and fair use as regards the digital era is all sorts of interesting. You would be hard-pressed to find a more interesting area of law. Get involved. Don’t stay ignorant hiding behind your keyboard. Get involved. I give the EFF money: what they’re doing is important. But don’t try to shout your way to being right: get involved and help change the world positively.

“Perfectly legal” - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lenz_v._Universal_Music_Corp . You’ve got to be reaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaally careful with that. People might be benevolant and graceful as regards some usage, but – you actually are crossing a marked and enforceable line, so you’ll want to tip-toe carefully. There’s really nothing incidental about posting unreleased images from the disc.

Horseshit. Correspondingly, I could claim that I am uploading your entire musical ouevre to educate the world that that music exists.

Stop talking out of your ass. Get educated and get involved.

46

You don’t have the rights to make a profit off of it but yes you do own the content within the disc because it is a matter of physical property (you physically own the digital property if that makes sense). With computer programs you sign a user agreement (generally) that limits your use of your property. However, the last time I checked, upon entering the disc into your console you aren’t asked to accept any terms. As a matter of fact this also is why having a modded console is legal as well. The issue has been discussed with sony and geohot. Geohot got fined because he distributed console hacks that essentially broke the system. Last time I checked these guys aren’t distributing keys for the disc locked content. What they are doing is legal, end of story. Bringing characters onto xbl or psn is a different issue because you have an agreement with xbl and psn to use content properly (as intended).

47

You accept terms upon purchase, just like when you buy any other product in existence.

Someone already posted the license and conditions, so I’m just going to quote him:

48

I like how you worded that…“to educate that characters exist” humm i wonder…if this isn’t more exploiting the DLC then educating the masses about locked DLC content on the games Disk as most people now are doing it out of spite. >_>’
