people keep trying to write soulclan books and soulclan roleplays and i end up reporting them for copyright infringement. im posting this to make things very clear.
Soulclan is copyrighted and can not be used by anyone else other then licensed writers. these include Michael Gooodman who goes under the pen name Ghostpelt, a writer named sokkio (pen name), and treesap (pen name) these are the current authorized writers, if anyone wants to write a book or make an rp that uses the name soulstar or soulclan as well as any other copyrighted names and writings, must follow certain criteria.
1. you must have a roblox account
2. you must have a wattpad account
3. you must have a working email account that you check regularly
4. you must ask permission to write said materials above/listed on here by users GhostieDSE, goodmichaelman, s0kkio, and girlynight12 (or their alts)- you must receive permission from everyone, if even one person says no, then you cant write, and will be sued if you write.
5. once approval has been given:
for roleplays- you must let ghostieDSE into your group with full admin privileges and unrestricted use (to punish anyone who breaks the rules set by ghostieDSE when it comes to what types of things can be said)
for books- you can not sell any books without permission, and you must give proper attribution.
6. when copywriting your material you must give top authority to ghostpelt with you recorded as being an approved writer.
7. if you do sell any books paper or electronic, sales must be approved by ghostpelt, and of all profits made, 5 percent must be given to each of the original owners (ghostpelt, sokkio, and treesap) for a total of 15%, and of the remaining 85%, 10% must be donated to wattpad and another 10% must be donated to roblox. the rest is for you to keep. (yes this stands even if the book is sold for a small amount. and price may not dip below $1) and when i say donate to roblox that can include bc and robux if you make enough. that can be part of your payment.
8. all writings (books) must be sent to ghostpelt and sokkio for approval before publishing (as long as it doesnt break any rules and is decent, it will be approved and standards are set very low, so even a 9 year old could write a book)
9. all books and groups must have a creative commons code that conforms to the rules set above. (copies of these must be given to ghostpelt for recording and publishing)
10. write lots of stuff and get lots of people to apply to us for writing (the more approved writers the better) and if you are an artist, you wont get paid, but you will have a better chance of approval (9 year old talent accepted)
thats it on rules, at least on our end, this does not mean you dont have to follow USA and international copyright rules.
next post will include what is copyrighted as of 7/26/2014 (day of post) and each subsequent post will be an update that says which post is being updated (if its rules) or what new stuff is copyrighted.
thanks for not stealing our stuff. |

actually sovietz, i could sue you for money damages... search copyright rules and punishments for breaking those rules... as long as i provide the proof that i own an idea i can sue you for all you own (not literally) and i can get a restraining order that says you cant write books. and the fact that you would have knowingly broken the copyright would make the punishment far greater, and there would be enough proof that there would be no way for you to claim innocence. i have a screenshot of your post, which is enough evidence to put you away for long enough that your life in business would unfortunately be ruined |

Pretty sure by uploading any of your content to ROBLOX, you give ROBLOX, it's associates, it's employees, it's moderation team, and whoever else is related to ROBLOX, an irrevocable, non-transferrable, sub-licensable, license to use any of your content that is uploaded.
And therefore meaning ROBLOX has the right to preform, adapt, translate, whatever any of your content in any way they want.
Not a legal expert, but this is pretty much how YouTube works, and so, ROBLOX probably works like this too.

lots of creeps and criminals on roblox...
id sue him cause i make money off of my books, and creeps like him would end up stealing my college funding.
had i gone to bard, harvard, or oxford i would have had a full scholarship, but i picked a liberal arts college so i actually have to spend money... thats why id sue anyone who infringes on my cc. so i can pay for college. |

See, if you really were going into college, you'd be smart enough to at least look decent on the Internet.
Second, you sound like you're still not 18 yet, but trying to mask that.
Third, you haven't actually shown us anything that proves that you own the copyright.
And fourth, ROBLOX terms pretty much say any copyrighted content you upload to ROBLOX, if done by the copyright owner, gives ROBLOX a license to pretty much do what they want with it.
Fifth, why is this on C&G?

Regardless if you do own any copyright, there is something called:
Section 107 of the United States Copyright Act of 1976.

And third, you can't copyright a derivative of someone else's work.
I don't think you know anything about law.
At all.
All it'll take is a call to Cherith Baldry, Victoria Holmes, Kate Cary, or Tui T. Sutherland.

Regardless, you do know that to sue someone anyway,
It kind of,
You know.
Costs a LOT of money?
And you 'claim' that you 'want' to go to 'college'?

section 107... idiots...
when you send dtuff in to be copyrighted, they check to make sure its not a derivative... if you didnt know that you didnt read past the first ling of copyright laws.
if u think my stuff is breaking the rules of copyright... then just about every author for the past 50 years is breaking the law...
yall a bunch of noobs trying to start a flame war. |
