over the last year i have made a "mock up" off the Crewe area in the 1950's. [this is not a request for a developer to make the mock up into a sim but to show fellow members on the forum what it would lock like as a sim] see attached a copy of the mock up, pleas note that this unfinished as i a'm still collecting the data from the swift series from http://www.s-r-s.org.uk/bookswift.html. also note that it is not in colour but if any one has got any good programs it would work in couler please let me now This text is hidden because you are not logged in. alli Post has attachments.

a screenshot of a sim which is available to download for free? i appreciate copyright still applies but nonetheless if someone kicked up a stink over that and seriously attempted to have it removed would need to get a better life lol

Many of those who are forever moaning about copyright on here should read up on Fair Use.

Thanks for your curt response to which I neither like the tone or inference. Perhaps if some people on here were as keen to help others as much as what I have been then there would not be so much bickering Geoff Log in to reply The following users said thank you: vontrapp, Uncle Pete |

I'm sure "incidental inclusion" as well as "Critism and or news reporting" cover the screenshot being posted here, both of which don't contravene the Copyright, Designs and Patents Act 1988.

" said:" said:I could ask m'learned friend but I fear it'll become a 2-hour lecture on copyright. It will inevitably be a rich mix of statutory provision and case law (and not all the latter would be uncontroversial, I suspect)." said:Any chance you could reference the provision in UK law, it's not one that I've ever noticed." said:Similar provisions are made in UK (and other countries'Many of those who are forever moaning about copyright on here should read up on Fair Use.Especially the bit where it says "United States copyright law" and "doctrine" If I understand what he says correctly about this sort of stuff, protection of computer programs is a rather vexed area of intellectual property. They don't seem to be patentable (in spite of the efforts of the US Judiciary to move in that direction). But copyright probably only applies strictly to the code itself (although copyright in the code is of course absolute). Whether it could be held that an image produced by a copyrighted program were itself copyright I don't know. It might depend on the purpose for which the code was written. But in practical terms it would be going to an awful lot of trouble on a complainant's part to get a judgement of infringement where the alleged infringement is of this nature. Which, at an even more pragmatic level, assumes PC Rail doesn't take the view that this is thoroughly good publicity and therefore decides to just ignore it. Log in to reply |

For it to apply, the infringer must be able to show that the dealing was for criticism or review, that the infringed work was previously made available to the public, that the dealing was fair, and that the dealing was accompanied by an acknowledgement. "the dealing was for criticism or review" - in this case, critiquing the PCRail simulation as compared to the example "Simsig" version. "the infringed work was previously made available to the public" - it's safe to say that PCRail simulations are public, seeing as anyone can buy them. "the dealing was fair" - PCRail was not harmed in any way - if anything, it increased awareness of their product. "the dealing was accompanied by an acknowledgement" - PCRail was indeed acknowledged.

" said:" said:." said:" said:" said:Many of those who are forever moaning about copyright on here should read up on Fair Use.As is linked in the Fair Use article: The quoting of certain parts and extracts of documents, rules and regulations etc. can always lead to the conclusion that you want to believe, or the point you want to try and prove. Thus the full document or text must always be read and understood fully to provide all the relevant facts. The only person who would be able to give a satisfactory conclusion to our discussion would be the person judging on a civil case if it were to be brought. That being said if you read the web page http://www.copyrightservice.co.uk/copyright/copyright_myths then that gives answers to certain mythical points raised. Quote -"the dealing was for criticism or review" - in this case, critiquing the PCRail simulation as compared to the example "Simsig" version.- Unquote I was not aware that Sim Sig had a version of Crewe.....do you know something that we don't? Quote - "the infringed work was previously made available to the public" - it's safe to say that PCRail simulations are public, seeing as anyone can buy them. - Unquote My above quoted web page from the copyright service explains that something may be available for public access but could still be copyrighted. Quote - "the dealing was fair" - PCRail was not harmed in any way - if anything, it increased awareness of their product.- Unquote I would agree with this being applicable to those with access to the Sim Sig forum pages. Quote - "the dealing was accompanied by an acknowledgement" - PCRail was indeed acknowledged. - Unquote True PC Rail was mentioned. I think we should all acknowledge that none of the definitions contained in this thread conclusively prove what is right and what is wrong but it did provide some healthy discussion.

Geoff, Just a note from an "oldie". I find that it is very hard to read/sort your reply when it is in "italics" as are the "quotes". Barry Barry, Sydney, New South Wales, Australia Log in to reply The following user said thank you: northroad |
