No, but in all seriousness, LOTC’s Terms of Service have been updated and the old, problematic copyright stuff has been removed, so thanks to whoever decided to do that. They’ve yet to be uploaded to the main website so that you can go back and review them upon accepting them, but I’d encourage you to do so once they’re up, if you didn’t when you had to re-accept them yesterday/today. For those that didn’t here’s the new ToS stuff discussing copyright and uploaded content.

I am extremely happy they changed the ToS, and hope they were indeed kidding ;/

this lol

 

a service that runs off of donations because users voluntarily create content for it should probably stay out of its users’ content

The whole content licence thing is shitty at first glance but afaik that only exists in the event that some dev makes a plugin and then gets pissy, quits and tries to claim copyright on their plugin and force LOTC to remove it. Or someone who, for arguments sake, wrote original fundamental lore.

 

Up to you to say whether they have a right to try and pull their **** like that, but the point is that Tythus Ltd is never gonna want to do anything with most stuff like art, your characters, etc.

 

Ofc then if this is the case then Admins should probably specify in the ToS that the copyright licence clause should only apply to stuff like plugins.

given that actually happened in the past this is a totally valid point but it’s not going to stop me from being rah rah mad at the staff

excited 2 see how adminteam r going to reconcile gdpr right to access (i.e, provide users with a digital copy of personal data shared) as a legal obligation

 

even tho their own classification of content is tagged w/ their claim of becoming copyright owners even tho personal data etc of the “creator” remains tagged to the forum posts (mods etc can see IPs pinned to posts)

 

will lotc provide personal data, as IPs are uploaded && shared to lotc as part of user-generated content, to users if they request it even though they say in the bottom paragraph that they will not do so under any circumstances

 

further; if someone reqs their identifying user-generated content removed (as is their right btw), as this is a violation of the terms of service but a right of the law.. does it mean u gets banned :[

 

Much to think abt...
