Faeit 212 and BoLS and GW (maybe?)
« on: April 30, 2013, 10:20:24 AM »
I haven't been reading Warhammer blogs for a few days and went to check some stuff out and noticed Faeit 212 and BoLS were down.  Thought it was odd and did a little digging.

*shrug*  Don't know what it is but there are a couple of different 40k blogs down.

No it definitely WAS a DMCA takedown from GW.

More DMCA.

Legal bullies.

Well, I suppose I should just start the Hordes army instead of looking at GW again.

Warseer is still up because they follow GW's rules, and quite frankly I think its a far better forum then Faeit and BoLS combined. Here is an exerpt from the alleged complaint:

Description of the copyrighted work:

The magazine content and images are
protected by copyright and Games Workshop Limited does not give permission
for it to be displayed on the Faeit212 Blog. The blog is displaying
photographic copies of the pages of the magazine. The 19 photos of magazine
pages in the body of the blog post infringe.

As copyright owner, Games Workshop also has the rights to first release of
the material to the public. These rights are being infringed by the
Faeit212 blog entry identified, belonging to user 'Natfka'.

Due to the confidential nature of the work being infringed and its current
status as unreleased, we kindly request you remove this material from your
service as swiftly as possible.


GW has made it clear that it will not allow any leaked images to exist, there is nothing wrong with that.. the movie industry has also done similar actions in the past to protect their product.

Yeah, I think that people are quick to portray GW as the villian a lot of times.   If I am selling a magazine, and someone is scanning it and posting it for free online, you don't think I should call the cops?   If you blame GW for this, you are essentially saying that no one should be able to make a living by selling books.

Copyright law in the US is broken. There is ample evidence of that. Here, I will even provide you with some:

It's a humorous take on a serious subject.

Ok well if it bothers you then go write a letter to your Senator, its unfair and silly to blame GW for a law that every corporation can utilize.

Nah, I'll just call GW out on being a bully.

Today is voting day so I will look at the people running and see where they stand on DMCA!

People who complain about copywrite laws are usually the same people who pirate music and movie downloads online. I don't think Somalia has those laws though (or any for that matter) lol.

No I didn't say you, just in general.
