God just stop fighting.... The GFX look the same all you did was change tohe colors a little ..... i dont care if you do it so just let it be

[Destorm]

wow how to gain respect for a server...

[darkreign3]

Who let the monkey out? i thought someone lockedup destorm

[LegendaryTsukasa]

I'm not sure why anyways is upset over it. Anyone could make GFX like this, we just happen to be doing it first. The fact that we are using this as a base for the key GFX doesn't mean that we are going to use all CT GFX. Were only using those GFX because of the theme of the server, which I think you would all like anyways.

Umm... right


lame

Ok. First of all, you cant own a copyright to anything you upload to GraalOnline. If you do, you are forfeiting those rights the moment its uploaded.

Those graphics are not acceptable. You cant rip work belonging to another company and attempt to grant GraalOnline ownership rights to it.

I tried to find Trigger Online, but I only found Trigger. Is that yours? It looks nothing like those screenshots. So as far as I can tell those are not online currently; but if they are, remove them.

Yes, please, show me where all these images are, scattered around the servers, which are comparable and indemnifies your project's work.

I tell you, just because there is something online that shouldnt be there, does not mean that I am condoning it, I just am not aware of it yet. Thats WHY I have to go around continuously looking for things which shouldn't be there, every server has the potential of uploading new, unacceptable material every second of any day. There is easily over 100 servers currently online, not fun.

Ok, and yes I am having Era remove the Core Cola soda machine images, for trademark infringement. I will cite the same documentation as I did to them, and as was recorded in the GGT forum area. This will apply somewhat to the current topic.

Taken from http://www.bitlaw.com

The elements for a successful trademark infringement claim have been well established under both federal and state case law. In a nutshell, a plaintiff in a trademark case has the burden of proving that the defendant's use of a mark has created a likelihood-of-confusion about the origin of the defendant's goods or services. To do this, the plaintiff should first show that it has developed a protectable trademark right in a trademark. The plaintiff then must show that the defendant is using a confusingly similar mark in such a way that it creates a likelihood of confusion, mistake and/or deception with the consuming public. The confusion created can be that the defendant's products are the same as that of the plaintiff, or that the defendant is somehow associated, affiliated, connected, approved, authorized or sponsored by plaintiff.

Its also important to note some cases involving trademark infringement:

RadioShack vs. PhoneShack
Warner Brothers vs. a site using "@cme"
Toys-R-Us vs. Roadkill-R-Us

Zen, I recommend taking a look at my attachments on the first page. They clearly show that it was ripped, incase you need evidence :/

Chrono Trigger is like my favourite game, I'm not going to let some dude rip graphics from it.

[LegendaryTsukasa]

You fail to realize that we havn't uploaded them too Graal yet.
You also fail to realize, that We are changing the look of everything, there fore, it is not the same GFX.
Also, On Delteria, they use the laugh used in both FF3 and Chrono Tigger. The MHX guild house has music from it. Can you tell me that those would be fine, but edited base GFX from Chrono Trigger is wrong? (Goodjob.)
If needed, I'll ask for permission from Squaresoft, which I probably won't get. Further more, A Graal server based on Chrono Trigger, with a Zelda type elements aded in, would be a very good server. The base GFX is being changed, so you really have nothing to worry about.

Please go, and try to be intelligent, somewhere else.

Are you saying if I steal an img from a game and convert it to 256 colors and then back to 24-bit it will no longer be thiers?
The colors are different there for it being "edited".
You reasoning is wrong my friend.
And also it clearly states that all property on Graalonline.com (meaning on rc file manager) is sole property of "Copyright (C) 1998-2004 Linux cyberjoueurs All Rights Reserved."

[D1ce2]

HAHAHAHA
How dare you call Crono (I'm assuming your nick?) a bastard, you've just been owned you thiefs!!
har har.

[Crono]

Making a server like Chrono Trigger would own, as a matter of fact I would play it. However highly editing graphics is just wrong.

That laugh on Delteria, everyone knew it was from Chrono Trigger.

As for the midi's i dont know if you're right or wrong but the forest and un-released "singing mountain" song or whatever sound a lot like that MHX one. Either way midi's are now hosted on different sites so it shouldnt matter. Or so I think.

Notice how I said that the server was only 5% done? This means, we have a very small part of the GFX bases, and we need to edit them soon. Not, "THSI IS TEH GRAIFX WREE GUNNA UES!" And if you look in the ScreenShot, it says, "Not all GFX will be used Online" X.x

Gerami. as I said, we are making a CT like server. I can't make GFX that good right from scratch, so too make it have a CT feel, I needed some base GFX. The tile set were making/editing right now, will not be like CT...which is hard sense there are over 15 Tile sets for CT, and they are placed at random. I'm glad you would play a server like CT, you might like it.

Too make everything short, and too stop the evil flaming, of something that was never inteeded to be a flaming type thread: These are only the Base GFX that we will use to give the server a CT like feel. They will be edited so they are not what they are in the game. You could picture them in the game, which is what we want, but they won't look as if they were in the game. (If that doesn't make sense, I'll go on in more detail.

......What? Dude, there is nothing in your first posts that says anything that has to do with stealing and Chrono Trigger. Maybe you should look a little bit closer.

I told you to remove those images if they are online specifically, because I realized that they probably weren't...

No I dont think I ever told you that about the music, considering I didnt even know about them . I can tell you that edited "base" GFX from Chrono Trigger is not acceptable, though.

Oh, no need to worry about that, I'm not going to let you use them at all, regardless.

Great! I'm not against you making a fun server, I really dont care as long as you dont use or edit gfx that dont belong to you. The only argument being created here is of you trying to defend that practice.

The point is: If you do insist on using stolen stuff, edited or not, you will not be allowed to advance to the Hosted Tab, and the images will be forcefully removed. If you still insist on not following the rules, perhaps greater steps will have to be taken to deter you from being insubordinate?
