Re: Tools the Enable Copyright Infringement

If a person takes some software code created by someone else, modifies it and distributes the modified code as their own. I take that to a copyright infringement?
No if instead of modifying a piece of code they take that code or a part of ...

Re: Tools the Enable Copyright Infringement
Thanks very much Andy. You have clarified my ramblings on this. I am now clear that my software is essentially "programming Software" It creates code which is then used in flight simulators to display airports. The code used is rendered by a graphics engine so is for all intents software. I am sure ...

Copyright Images in On-line Forum
My apologies for asking another question. I am a joint administrator for a forum (similar to this one). The question is :-
if a member posts an image which is found to be copyright by PicRights or similar who would be liable for the infringement. The poster, the forum or both or none!
Thanks ...

Copyright Statement with Dates
Apologies if this is dealt with elsewhere.
My software has a statement "Copyright 2007 - 2020 ScruffyDuck Software"
Does this mean anything special to include dates. The software originates from 2007 but is still being developed in 2022.
Is there an implication that the copyright expired in ...

That clarifies things very nicely. I will certainly be very careful about using images in the future without being absolutely sure they can be freely used.
