lol!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

discusss

 

 

 

 

 

idk if they just havent gotten around to it but this means someone could just come and copy it lol.

What's there to discuss?

ok dude, it's cool and all but it's also spam.

 

 

 

and to unspam. I gotta go write down in my diary that I lived since 1991-2008 0_o

Nobody is going to make a game with RuneScape in the title because of this.

So what, they forgot to update the site? That has nothing to do with their real legal status, which is probably automatically renewed.

Jagex own copyright for a few years yet...

Zomg they didn't update their website today, discuss!!!!!!

Copyright is different for each type of copyrighted thing.

 

Written music (score) copyright is 70 years yes i believe, although there are other rules like Hard recordings of music are copyrighted (CD's, records) are copyrighted for only 50; or something like that.

 

 

 

No doubt, game copyright is less long, because the game Shadowrun released in 1990's sometime was re-made in 2007 without any formal buying of copyright as far is know. So copyright on game names must be less long. HOwever game content copyright is probably much longer.

 

 

 

Well some discussion has come of spam :)

It depends on what is actually copywritten, but yeah. You do get the situation where the person who sang the song gets copyright for 50 years, the record label gets it for 70, but the person who actually wrote the song only gets it for 30.

 

 

 

But for a game like RS? I'm not sure of the software copyright laws in the UK. Especially as software is is weird, and it technically doesn't exist. All it is is a bunch of ones and zeros that a CPU can interpret to mean something else.

But for music? I'm not sure of the music copyright laws. Especially as music is weird, and it technically doesn't exist. All it is is a bunch of sounds strung together that your ear and brain can interpret to mean something else.

My bad :P I am a designer so only really know in depth about copy law from that aspect....

 

 

 

 

 

But from that example you said.... 17 years sounds awfully familiar for patients on products (think of Hoovers) so maybe as a game is a product it may be 17 years......

 

 

 

 

 

either way there is no issue here, they just need to update.

:) no problem; but something i thoughtg i'd add:

 

 

 

Cliff Richard no longer gets royalties from some of his first songs because they were over 50 years ago :lol: , and he's still alive.

 

Anyone can plaguerise his work now. \ \

 

 

 

Back on topic: NO-ones going to steal the copyright for runescape, Jagex just gotta udpdate the site.

 

 

 

But if someone did uby the copyright b4 jagex i would laugh :) especially when the theives got sued to hell.

Yep i definately see a hand in that direction :thumbsup:

And I seem to remember some incident when a band(think they were heavy-metal) tried to copyright a string of 3 notes?

Who the hell feels like renewing their copyright on New Years? They'll get that taken care of soon enough. End of.

Zomg they didn't update their website today, discuss!!!!!!

There is no discussion here, they simply haven't updated the website yet.
