Many people think that since its placed on the internet its free to use and do with as you wish. That is not true. We the designers pay for our domain, hosting site and most images used to create our pages. We do provide "free" pages to use as well as "paid" pages for sale. The "free" pages does not mean you can tear them apart and place your name on them. Same goes for our paid pages, just because you purchase the page does not mean you have purchased the rights to tear it apart and create something from it of your own.
Bandwidth theft.. this is a HUGE issue. We pay for our hosting sites, we provide you with the pages/images to use. But that does not mean you can remove an image or background from our pages and use it on your own leaving the link in place to our webhost. That is bandwith theft and it is a serious issue which all hosting sites recognizes. If you have one of our images/backgrounds on your page that has been taken off one of our free or paid pages and you use it on your own site without our permission then you are liable for any bandwidth usage caused to our webhost. You can also get your site shut down for bandwidth theft.
Tearing apart a page, be it a league page or tourney page, using the backgrounds or images placed on these pages to make your own page with is against our TOU. This happens alot, and its about time it stops. If any league is caught using "bits and parts" from our league pages or tourney pages without having permission from the designer who did the page where the images have come from, we will file a complaint with the site that is hosting your pages/site to get them removed. We will also place your league in our "Hall of Shame".
Tearing apart a layout, and before you even think to say "html is free" you might want to read from www.whatiscopyright.org. We have TOU that are placed on our sites, before tearing apart or copying one of the layouts you see on our sites you should be aware of the fact that this is copyright infringement and we will file a complaint with your webhost.
* Note to all league designers:
Even though you may be listed as a member of this group, at anytime if found that you have copied someone elses work without prior written permission from the original designer, you will be removed from the list designers and placed in the HOS. Just because your a designer does not give you the right to go to another designers site and "barrow" their ideas or layouts. Think before you place anything on your site that was not done by you. | | |
