    Well, what I mean is that the entity assemblergames.com cannot be held responsible for any content posted by a user. However, an individual user can. So if for some reason someone wanted to sue, they couldn't sue the website (assemblergames.com,) they'd have to sue the individual poster who released copyrighted materials.

    Not that anything like that would happen - it was no secret Sonic Xtreme was released here, so if Sega wanted to do anything they probably would have by now. Plus they usually preceed these things by cease and desist letters and the like first.

    We should be fine, it's just a programmer. Not their legal dept.

    I d be cautious using that sort of wording.

    assemblergames.com is not an entity. A company is an entity. As far as Assemblergames.com is concerned the liability extends personally to Kevin who owns the rights to it.

    "Safe Harbor" protects Kevin and the site's staff only so far as their willingness to remove content which does run afoul of the law. In other words, if someone put up something illegal, law enforcement officials could not go after the website operator as long as he or she is willing to remove the content (usually what happens) or is willing to challenge the illegality of the content (e.g. a DMCA takedown notice response).

    Sure it does. That' s usually where you'll find Shadowlayer :nod:

    That is the most correct statement I've heard all day.

    :lol: @ bum comment

    Hence , the liability is personal, not limited. (Legal talk) Getting away with it is subject to conditions.

    Hmmm Shadowlayer isn´t a bum. Maybe he is an outright pain in the bum. When he is calling my English for Engrish , when I can point where his English is more Engrish than mine (and vice versa). But he isn´t a homeless man. And from what I have gathered then it isn´t only God who knows where he lives. But yeah, I understand the joke. So no worries. And to Shadowlayer the sentence "no worries" is an Australian English version of "Don´t worry" to some extend, or degree :) I hope you understand, that I am teasing you mate. In some of the things I have said.

    Ok, is it the word "outright" which fucks your brain ? or is it the part "When he is calling my English for Engrish" ? so what should I write instead of "for" ? please enlighten me. And I will correct it . Since speaking the English language is something I like to do correct. And that includes writing it. So please explain to me, why your brain turned off .

    Edit: Oh silly me, of course now I know it.

    "When he is calling my English for Engrish" should have been
    "When he is calling my English, Engrish". Damn silly me. Sometimes my English thoughts aren´t perfect.

    Well, at least I am trying to put the words where they belong. And writing "an" infront of nouns that starts with a vowel, something I have seen native English speakers, and writers do, and vice versa with consonants. And it strangely makes me go "wtf". Because that isn´t an evolvement of the English language, it is a degration.

    So to see through my eyes. Then I sometimes feel, people should grab themselfs in their neck. And write their nouns correct. Since I think the thing about "a" and "an" was in my very first English lesson in fifth grade so damn long ago. And if it wasn´t the first, then it was in the next ten English lessons I had so long ago, in fifth grade. And I still try fucking hard not to correct the English speaking and writing people about it. But at the same time, to me it is one of the most easy things in the English language. And I do know the exceptions to the rule about some nouns. such as "an hour" or "a year" . And probably many more. Anyway, enough of my ramblings.

    I guess it depends on how stupid the other sides lawyers are.



    Requirements to obtain the safe harbor
    To obtain the safe harbor the OSP must:
    • not have actual knowledge that the material or an activity using the material on the system or network is infringing (512(c)(1)(A)(1)).
    • not be aware of facts or circumstances from which infringing activity is apparent (512(c)(1)(A)(2)).
    • upon obtaining such knowledge or awareness, must act expeditiously to remove, or disable access to, the material. (512(c)(1)(A)(2) and 512(c)(1)(C))
    • not receive a financial benefit directly attributable to the infringing activity, in a case in which the service provider has the right and ability to control such activity (512(c)(1)(B)).
    • have a Designated Agent registered with the US Copyright Office to receive notifications of claimed infringement (often called takedown notices). If the designated agent receives a notification which substantially complies with the notification requirements, the OSP now has actual knowledge and must expeditiously disable access to the work. The OSP must make available to the public through its service, including on its web site substantially this information:
      • the name, address, phone number and electronic mail address of the agent.
      • other contact information which the Register of Copyrights may deem appropriate.
    • adopt, reasonably implement, and inform subscribers and account holders of a policy that provides for the termination in appropriate circumstances of subscribers and account holders of the service provider's system or network who are repeat infringers (512(i)(1)(A)).
    • accommodate and not interfere with standard technical measures used to identify and protect copyrighted works (512(i)(1)(B)).
