Okay here's the site.I may be wrong though but who knows.please correct me if I'm wrong.it just seemed strange that alot of DIV layouts from different members ended up there.

There are many sites with cB layouts on them. None of those look familiar to me but as others have listed there are many other sites. Sadly we can't do much about these sites at all but my suggestion to anyone in the future is put your name on your stuff but besides that there isn't anything you an really do about it.
I'll just move this to feedback with the rest of the layout topics. |

This is an ongoing problem I have brought it up several times and I know others have, but there really isn't much we can do unless Ju-Sun wants to put out the money to sue them.

There isn't anything we can do. This has happened before and it is very disappointing to see and that she is using our stuff and selling it.
The most you can do for those that can see the profile or blog is to report her to myspace.com and if they ever get around to it and see it as a problem they will delete her profile. Believe me guys, what goes around comes around and she'll get kicked in the ass in the future. |

I find that an email worded delicately to insinuate the possibility of legal action always tends to work best; particularly against hosted sites or ISP's.
I've seen a lot of copyright issues being brought up around here; would anyone like me to write a pinned topic stating exactly what copyright is, how you prove it, what it entails, what a designers' rights are, etc? |

lets go gang rape them.
jk. sort of. i agree with the post above me though. if you just imply that you MIGHT take legal action, it usually scares them enough to take your stuff down. |

They took quite a few, is there a place to post the links in case the designers want their layouts removed?

Well links would be nice, because the link already in this topic was set to private. I'll be more than happy to E-mail them or message them if I had proof.

Oh I thought it was just another myspace layout site was taking our layouts and making money off of them.
We've always had problems with UltimateMyspace..since I've been a regular member with createblog. They aren't going to remove the layouts and no where on that website do they claim the rights for the layouts. There isn't anything we can do. Anyone that is offended by their work being posted on to that website needs to contact them personally and remove their layouts from createblog.com and any other place on the web their layouts are displayed. |

They're redistributing - surely an offense?
A designer submits work to Createblog.com thereby granting CB an implied license - and the designer also agrees by submission to CB Terms of Service. This other site has no legal right to redistribute copyrighted work. gfhhshdhbaja!! Makes me mad. |

 Theres other sites besides ultimatemyspace.com that has our layouts.As I said, if you don't want your layouts being placed on other websites without the credit then remove them from the internet. Thats how the internet works. You don't own actual copyrights for your work either, if you want to spend the 30-40$ to actually copyright your work then go for it. QUOTE 1. By submitting layout codes, script codes, graphics, and tutorials (collectively, "Submission") to the Service, you grant CreateBlog ownership rights of the Submission (this is only so that we can legally go after copyright infringers on your behalf). Sure we can threaten them, but believe me their going to have stuff to throw back at us and Jusun already has one legal matter in his hands..I don't think he needs another that has been going on for years and nothing has happened and after a while no one cares. EDIT The only way to solve this problem is to set the layouts to private away from the public and only accessible by members. And these members would have to be like official members or something so we would actually be able to trust them. But that isn't ever going to happen..the layouts are open to the public and thats how its always been and its not going to change because once we do something like that..the site loses money. |

You don't need to pay to copyright anything. To patent something, sure - but not to copyright.
Anything you create by dint of hard work, reasonable judgement and/or effort is instantly protected by copyright law. You don't even need to put the little '©' on work to make it copyright. Just because something is posted in the so-called 'public domain' does not mean it becomes public property. I hold the legal and moral rights to every single one of my creations; as does anyone in a similar position. Only ideas are not protected. |
