dylan1406599 Posted November 26, 2015 Share Posted November 26, 2015 I recently uploaded a world of warcraft level up sound replacer and I gave proper credit and also quoted a section of the blizzard FAQ that says I can use it so why was it taken down? Here is the excerpt in case anyone wants to know: What is Blizzard Entertainment's® copyright/trademark policy for the Internet, specifically for fansites? Can I use Blizzard Entertainment's® images, text or sound on my web page? Is it ok if I use screenshots I take in-game on my web page? Yes, within certain limits. We asked our legal department to provide some guidelines for you, and here is what they said: Blizzard Entertainment® hereby grants you a personal, non-exclusive, non-transferable and non- assignable license to use and display, for home, noncommercial and personal use only, one copy of any material and/or software that you may download from this site, including, but not limited to, any files, codes, audio or images incorporated in or generated by the software (collectively the "Downloaded Content") provided, however, that you must include or maintain all copyright and other notices contained or associated with such Downloaded Content. You acknowledge and agree that you may not sublicense, assign or otherwise transfer this license or the Downloaded Content and that no title to the Downloaded Content has been or will be transferred to you from Blizzard Entertainment® or anyone else. You also agree that you will not alter, disassemble, decompile, reverse engineer or otherwise modify the Downloaded Content. Also, we reserve the right to revoke this limited use license at any time, for any reason, and at the sole discretion of Blizzard Entertainment®. You may not use our materials on sites that feature defamatory pornographic, or inflammatory content, including, but not limited to, hacks and cheats for any of our games or any other content that Blizzard Entertainment® find objectionable or unlawful. and the link where I got this from is http://us.blizzard.com/en-us/company/about/legal-faq.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rabbit1251 Posted November 26, 2015 Share Posted November 26, 2015 And I quote, "...hereby grants you a personal, non-exclusive, non-transferable and non- assignable license to use and display, for home, noncommercial and personal use only..." It does not say that you can give it away. According to you the mod contained stolen assets. Rabbit Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Langy Posted November 26, 2015 Share Posted November 26, 2015 Re-read that again. That specifically says that you can not make any copies and distribute them - which is what you were doing. The removal was justified, as what you were doing was copyright infringement. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Heykoolaid Posted November 26, 2015 Share Posted November 26, 2015 I think it might also deal with the, "Donate". feature as well they don't want anyone making money off of unoriginal content. maybe? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrsHandy Posted November 26, 2015 Share Posted November 26, 2015 dude... just make some original content! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vagrant0 Posted November 26, 2015 Share Posted November 26, 2015 Appeals requests should be done by contacting the moderator who removed your mod. This is not an issue for public discussion. Thread locked. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
