mod copyright
« on: October 08, 2007, 02:35:28 PM »
hi,


i'm just curious as to what the copyright situation is with regards to mods and what not. clearly the original mod composers still own copyright over their works (as shown, or rather not shown by the timbaland case), but is it legal to provide them for playback for free on a website hosted in the US? (kind of a subsidiary/curiousity but how was back2roots' hosting legal?)

thanks!

Many thanks!

(I guess it's pretty much as you said...if you're just spreading their work and not making it a commercial enterprise then they wouldn't really complain)
