[News] Serious allegations about H&P | ANN.lu |

Amigo follows up on serious allegations about H&P and says: "I also just asked Unisys as it says here, and am waiting for a reply. If true, H&P could probably be forced to close."
[ If H&P indeed didn't pay royalties for Unisys' GIF algorithm, they might not be forced to close per se, but if this is indeed true, and Unisys decides to sue, they might have to pay some serious fines. Also note that while this is not in unmoderated, it's highly speculative, unconfirmed and generally should be taken with the usual grain of salt - CK ]

Serious allegations about H&P : Comment 35 of 164 | ANN.lu |
Posted by Mike Veroukis on 08-Nov-2001 21:53 GMT | In reply to Comment 34 (Anonymous): >Exactly, and the copyright notice is there to say the trailers cannot be
>copied without permission.
For your info, a copyright notice does not mean you can't copy. That's what licenses are for. Everything ever writen is automatically copyrighted, the copyright notice just states who owns the copyright and when it was created (that's due to the fact that copyrights expire after time). This message is therefore automatically copyrighted, so are you then breaking the law when you quote me when replying? Did you have writen permission from me or from ann.lu to copy the previous messages? It's starting to get rather silly isn't it?
Also, how do you know they did not have permission for these trailers, or that these trailers were not free to ditribute? You don't, you're just making a big stink about something even the most anal lawyer would not give more then a second of his time too. You're really scraping the bottom of the barrel.
If H&P screwed you, it sucks to be you. Sue them if you feel you're in the right. Everyone can afford to sue, just find a lawyer that believes in your case and will only take a percentage of what you win in court. Otherwise, shut up and get over it. You're really annoying.
