@dallask, Making a copy of a game using bricks isn't counted as copyright. Copying a file from another game is.

its not copyright at all!!!! Copyright is using someone elses copyrighted thing to make money for yourself! it isnt making money to play a game ffs and ROBLOX isnt using the meshes so they cant really get sued. ESPECIALLY CONSIDERING NO MONEY IS BEING MADE! Look it up for goodness sake. It isnt copyright infrigement unless your using it with intention to make money!

No. Copyright = Copying a game/music/file that isn't yours. Example? Youtube. If you tried copying a video, Youtube will block it due to copyright means. And guess what, Its not like as if the person is doing it for money benefits. Therefore, Your defintion of copyright is wrong.

Yes vida such as one example. Try to copy the movie RIO for example. Put little segments to watch the movie on youtube. But then youtube deletes it for copyright.

Creator of the forum, currently your screaming to get user meshs back. I used to support this untill I was messaged that it was to prevent roblox being sued off other companys for copying there content. I know you'll try and back up your story by making something up again, but this has got to stop. I'm sure if we asked them to bring back SOME meshs, it would be ok but its up to them and if its no, its a no. So, I disagree to this. -Pika

NO, youtube only deletes the video if you claim it as your own. If you claim to create the video and someone else did, that is the breach of copyright. As long as the item is not used to be making money, and proper credit is given, it is not breeching the copyright law. I took law classes for gods sakes n I plan to be a lawyer.

Not true, compines can sue sites giveing ROMs even if they aren't used to make money. BUT meshes are SHAPES, I understand it takes a long time to make them, but I could basically give credit (not made by me) and Roblox couldn't be sued. (plus Nintendo could sue because there are Mario models and decals but I don't see them do it)

z'all good. but your right. ROBLOX has many copyrighted things left and right, and nobody is giving credit. Even cahnging pokemon to pokeblox, thats a major breech of contract. ROBLOX can't be sued for Meshes, and even fi they could, there are only a trillion other things to sue em for.

And what about the ROBLOX energy sword? thats the HALO sword, just recoloured green! but you don't see credit being given.

The ROBLOX energy sword looks similar, yet they made their own mesh, their own texture, so they didn't copy it. However, the problem is, ROBLOX is actually making money from it. There is a loophole, and it will be the same loophole that VALVe's lawyers will use again. It's that if someone makes a place that uses say, HL2's meshes straight from the games resource folder, and someone buys BC, then BANG! That gives VALVe a chance to sue.

You can't convert meshes straight from Valve's resource folders. Valve's models are in .MDL which is a file compiled from other files (physics, reference, etc.) You'd have to decompile it, export the reference to .mesh, and then you could upload it.

Then VALVe is loophole useing noob (seriously, that's cheep and jerk thing to do.)

The game makes money from BC inevitably. Meshes and BC are not linked, NBCs could make and use meshes.

So in the end, User meshes do not increase nor decrease the chances of ROBLOX being sued.

Listen to this, you dingbats. Why should gears be allowed? Alot of gears are weapons. swords, projectiles, explosives, ROBLOX covers most bases of weaponry. Why should those be allowed, and our user meshes not allowed? The Ballista is Copyrighted, entirely from a different game.

you cant really copyright a Ballista. That thing is a basic thing.
