If you're going to be the wiki Copyright Nazi, please make it look halfway legible? Is that too much to ask? Maybe put all the images under one request banner?--{{User:Blue Command Vic/Sig}} 04:24, 16 December 2006 (UTC)
:Sure. --[[User:Akule|Akule]] 17:27, 18 December 2006 (UTC)

==Quit it, Please==
Quit spamming up M/D. We already have a policy to get rid of unused images automatically. Don't nominate them for deletion.--{{User:Gage/sig}} 20:45, 19 December 2006 (UTC)
:Do we have one for unused templates as well? --{{User:Akule/sig}} 20:52, 19 December 2006 (UTC)
::If we don't, we can make one, just quit spamming M/D. Now.--{{User:Gage/sig}} 20:53, 19 December 2006 (UTC)
:::Sure. I didn't know about the unused image policy. I'm also not going after any present images until I see how the proposed policy goes and to allow for the current images up on M/D to go through. I'm assuming that is acceptable? --{{User:Akule/sig}} 20:57, 19 December 2006 (UTC)~

== Out of curiosity... ==
And you're insane. Do you really think people are lining up to sue kevan? Or do you just like ruining the wiki for people.--[[User:Rogue|Rogue]] 17:33, 23 December 2006 (UTC)
:I believe you can stop posting on my user page now, as I will stop responding to you. --{{User:Akule/sig}} 03:27, 24 December 2006 (UTC)
::I will when you will give me a logical reason on why you are obsessed with this. So you've research copyright law... What drives you to make sure that every single thing here is copyright free? Is it something you're doing for your college? Is this some sort project of your's?--[[User:Rogue|Rogue]] 05:54, 25 December 2006 (UTC)
:::Its very interesting, I'm curious as well.  Can't you just say why you are posting all these deletions up?  Its not like anybodys going to get sued here for a couple images.  [[User:Cat go meow|Cat go meow]] 06:33, 26 December 2006 (UTC)
::::Unfortunately, you're wrong. Kevan already has received two cease-and-desist notices. --{{User:Akule/sig}} 18:25, 29 December 2006 (UTC)
:::::Cease and Desists are nothing to worry about, if he complies with them, nothing else happens. It's just the legal way of saying 'you didn't ask, remove it.' It's what companies pay their lawyers to do, it's not the end of the world. --[[User:Rogue|Rogue]] 02:00, 31 December 2006 (UTC)
::::::They are the precusror to lawsuits. The fact of the matter is that you stated that no one cared about the copyright violations on this wiki. I believe that has proved that you are very wrong. --{{User:Akule/sig}} 02:40, 1 January 2007 (UTC)
::::::: Well on this wiki '''you''' are the only one who brought it up. So yes until you started fearmongering no one cared. --[[User:Rogue|Rogue]] 02:20, 3 January 2007 (UTC)
:::::::: Really? I was just pointing out that no one was following the rules that Kevan established in order to protect himself. It's not ''my'' fault if you can't follow rules that are clearly spelled out in '''BOLD CAPITALIZED TEXT'''. --{{User:Akule/sig}}17:40, 4 January 2007 (UTC)
:::::::::Read my answer about the dangers of '''THE BOLD CAPITALIZED TEXT!!!''' Like I said we should enforce it like the British Government does, as in only do something when when complaint is filed. No stupid premptive deletions. Unless you think you are smarter than the entire British Government.  --[[User:Rogue|Rogue]] 08:35, 9 January 2007 (UTC)

==Sir, that is completely and utterly retarded.==
Do you HONESTLY think arby's, or any other corperation would waste time and money in litigation with a gaming website, that is maybe worth 50 grand tops? I doubt it. Seems to me you like to stir up trouble for no good reason. As for your arguments about the arby's corperation getting hurt, will they really? will the use of their logo (which could be argued to be public domain, albeit weakly) tank the arby's corperation, ruin its shareholders, and cause mass unemployment? If arby's really cared to take the time to ask kevan/the mod staff to take down the logo, it would happen, but your motive appears to be stirring up trouble. There is a name for the type of lawyer you seem to be, and its called an AMBULANCE CHASER. You give lawyers everywhere a bad name, good day. --[[User:Dickholeguy|General Lee A. Dickhole]] <sub>[[Malton Rangers]]</sub> 06:24, 3 January 2007 (UTC)
:Yes, [http://www.arbys.com/privacy/terms.php for '''some reason'''] I do believe that Arby's will agressively fight for their trademark. Perhaps because, they say they will?

== International Copyright??? ==
If this website is based in USA and if you only want to protect Kevan from lawsuits then heres what I have to say to you: The only one that is going to get into problem is the one who submitted it, NOT Kevan. Why? Because we all had to sign a little thing before we registered telling us not to submit copyrighted material.

If not, I got news for you

I'm sorry I gotta break this to you, but not everyone lives in America. How appalling it might sound, but it is in fact, fact. Currently there exists about 245 countries around the globe, 192 of them being member states in the UN and widely recognized as countries. Most of these countries have rigorous and extensive laws about copyrighting, USA being at the top in writing these laws. In most of those countries, posting copyrighted material can lead charge and sometimes a lawsuit. 

The exception to this is in America where the object is not so much about protecting the material, but more like for making money, making posting material like that a highly risky affair since it no longer matters if what your doing is right or wrong.

In other countries, there simply is no such laws. Still, these countries hardly have any government.

Some countries may have these laws but since in these countries police business is police business (as opposed to USA) and they believe there is more important issues than chasing around people posting pictures. Other countries, where both a lawsuit and a criminal charge can get you its still not a problem, cuz seriously, who cares? A third alternative is all those countries who have copyright laws but loves to violate material protected by American copyright laws just to piss them off.

Thank you for you time =) --[[User:Sachaztan|Sachaztan]] 21:10, 27 July 2007 (BST)
:Urban Dead is hosted in the UK. Different laws, my friend. Different laws. Despite that, the wiki has a rule of no copyrighted work is to be submitted without permission, which means despite the legality, it's against wiki rules. --[[User:Akule|Akule]] <sup>School's in session. </sup> 18:19, 28 July 2007 (BST)
::So what do you care? The only one getting into trouble is the ones posting. --[[User:Sachaztan|Sachaztan]] 14:09, 29 July 2007 (BST)
:::Because I care for the wiki and I'd like Kevan not to go to jail. Why do you want him to go to jail? --[[User:Akule|Akule]] <sup>School's in session. </sup> 14:13, 30 July 2007 (BST)
::::But Kevan cant go to jail, and thats because of several reasons. A:Noone gives a fuck about defending their material so fiercely that they will try to send anyone using it, even in a small wiki like this, even if it doesn't matter at all, to jail. B:If someone did, the only one that could be sent to jail for it is the one posting it. C:The only way Kevan can be responsible for it is if someone sends him a mail telling him to remove this and that or else they will bring him to justice, in which case he would simply remove it, possibly ban the user, and then end of story. And what makes you the Mesiah of copyrighting? Do you have a doctorate in British law?--[[User:Sachaztan|Sachaztan]] 09:14, 31 July 2007 (BST)

That link you made to copyright law...its a link to a Texas university. You said that the wiki was hosted in UK? Why are you then linking to some sort of unofficial American essay-like text?--[[User:Sachaztan|Sachaztan]] 09:14, 31 July 2007 (BST)

==You know==

It's weird how absolutely no one gives a flying fuck about copyrights and yet you continue to spam up Deletions. In one ear and out the other, eh? --{{User:Axe27/Sig}} 20:36, 28 July 2007 (BST)
:yet, Kevan has expressed his wishes, and you guys keep on trucking.  In one ear and out the other, eh?--{{User:AnimeSucks/Sig}} 23:16, 28 July 2007 (BST)
::Right. So, if your name is copyrighted, then you should be deleted, right? --{{User:Axe27/Sig}} 17:08, 29 July 2007 (BST)

Besides, it's a [[UDWiki:Copyrights|wiki policy]]. If your brain can't grasp that simple concept, then let's go with this: Why do people get put up for vandalism of a group page? Because it's against '''policy''' to update a group's page without their consent. --[[User:Akule|Akule]] <sup>School's in session. </sup> 14:12, 30 July 2007 (BST)
::Some people eh? The few who have no clue who you are or who joined only a short while ago. Don't kid yourself. Beside, since I add categories to Group pages, I should therefore be permabanned. What? It is Wiki policy. --{{User:Axe27/Sig}} 19:48, 30 July 2007 (BST)
:::Oh? Care to show me precedence where someone was banned for categorizing groups? ----[[User:Akule|Akule]] <sup>School's in session. </sup> 13:27, 4 August 2007 (BST)

==A bit of an odd turn==

Well, I support you in your capaign against copyrighted material on he wiki. HA! how's that for a surprise?

I don't like copyright much myself, but if it keeps everything balanced in the UDverse, then so be it. -{{User:Vigeous/Sig}} 18:50, 11 August 2007 (BST)
:Glad to have you on board! I think that a lot of the crappy images could be replaced by UD artist-drawn images like they did in [[The Great Mall Project]]. I mean, what is this? Myspace? --[[User:Akule|Akule]] <sup>School's in session. </sup> 19:09, 11 August 2007 (BST)

==The copyrighting link==
First of all you should get a better reference to copyright laws since your link leads to a Texan university (its not in the UK, its not official, its an essay and is therefore useless)

And also read [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Wikilawyering this] and consider the term "fair use" in international copyrighting. --[[User:Sachaztan|Sachaztan]] 18:17, 18 August 2007 (BST)
:It's an educational tool and prompts you to go reading more on the topic. I would post other links, but people have proven that they don't really give a crap about learning anything about copyright law. Now, as for your second link, you will find that [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fair_dealing fair dealing (the equivalent of fair use in the UK)] is [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Copyright_law_of_the_United_Kingdom very different] than fair use. For one, it is '''far more restrictive''' than fair use. So go ahead, read that, then come back and we can discuss this further. --[[User:Akule|Akule]] <sup>School's in session. </sup> 16:41, 22 August 2007 (BST)
