But it's not image copy if they make their own that just look the exact same....

[Tom@S]

Copyright is the actual work, not the idea. I think someone can recreate as long as they make their own images...

[harmlessgoat22]

well, certain things, like the phpBB modders header would be hard to reproduce without using the image...

I don't think questioning or even discussing what actually falls under copyright marks in this thread is really off-topic.. But whatever.

[harmlessgoat22]

I think the whole point of this topic is the copyrights and if it falls under copyright or not...well, along with the whole other sites thing...

[Semi_Deus]

No, what I've been trying to explain is; we could have decided that it was ripped, and that he should remove it, and we were going to take actions against the site. But we didnt. So we loosened up our copyright rules. So what ive been trying to say is, is that anyone can create his own copyright rules, for his own creation/project etc..

It's true, anyone can. And one part of copyright is the fact that the owner of that copyright has the right to choose the rights to copy for the copyright.

Yes, Roelof, but there are limitations on what you can put in copyrights, and that is what we are discussing. I can't make a website layout and copyright the idea of using grey and red, for example. I know this isn't that extreme, I'm just trying to point out there are limitations, and we are discussing where those limitations are.
