Miss Lexi Posted August 11, 2008 Report Share Posted August 11, 2008 Okay, I'm gone for a day and everything changes. I go to the homepage for MQ, and go to forums...and it's going to magatroid.com instead of metroidquarantine.com Did I miss something?

snʞı Posted August 11, 2008 Report Share Posted August 11, 2008 Apparently Cannon changed the domain name in the forums from Metroid Quarantine (http://boards.metroidquarantine.com) to Magatroid (http://magatroid.com/forum/). I believe it's to prevent copyright issues with Nintendo. The main site is still the same, http://metroidquarantine.com but that one is currently stagnant, with sporadic updates on Pulse.

No he wanted to associate the forums with the magazine. I don't think copyright had anything to do with anything. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris Posted August 25, 2008 Report Share Posted August 25, 2008 I don't think copyright had anything to do with anything. You are correct. I changed the domain to avoid trademark issues <.< Nintendo has a fair use policy I believe though, so it wouldn't really matter, but yea the real reason was to associate the forums with the magazine >.> Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dudemaster47 Posted August 26, 2008 Report Share Posted August 26, 2008 Yeah. A copy right is a little c in a circle, a trade mark is a superscript TM. ... Also, a copyright is basically already there when you create something, usually something intangible. You just have to register it. Like music or ideas. A trademark is probably the same, but for tangible things. Like...toys. Or video games. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Samus1 Posted August 27, 2008 Report Share Posted August 27, 2008 It's not really a long story, but Warner Bros sent me and my internet provider(Charter) a cease and desist letter and email for downloading a movie "illegally". They insisted that charter disable my internet for my activity. So yeah I know "they" will come after you Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sour_Samus Posted August 27, 2008 Report Share Posted August 27, 2008 Samus you are probably one of the rare cases where a pirate gets caught. I know about 40 people that pirate music and sometimes other stuff. Some of them use Limewire which is supposed to be the most unsafe way of downloading music, and out of all of those people not one has been caught. Just putting that out there.

Samus1 Posted August 28, 2008 Report Share Posted August 28, 2008 I guess I tried to download the wrong movie at the absolute wrong time, so since then I haven't downloaded a single thing Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Diorte Posted January 25, 2009 Report Share Posted January 25, 2009 DO WHAT YOU WANT 'CUZ A PIRATE IS FREE! =D Srsly, I've prolly pirated at least ~$10k worth of computery stuff. Tons of music in lossless quality, Photoshop CS3 and 4, Nero, Roxio, xvid, C&C Generals: Zero Hour, Doom, C&C 3, Warcraft 2 & 3, Starcraft, Diablo 1 & 2, Black and White, C&C Red Alert 2 & Yuri's Revenge, WinRAR, Stardock stuff, Kaspersky, like two other anti-virusy things I can't remember, and a bunch of stuff I don't remember.
