AO's Copyright Expired

Post by Moonbat » Sat Jan 06, 2007 11:51 pm

Copyright ?é?® Funcom 1999 - 2005
Somone needs to update their site, or needs to renew their copyright or whatever. Technically, couldn't we just steal all of AO's ideas and graphics now?

Nah.. i think the copyright is valid like 50 years or something after it was "registered".

Lengh of time on copyrights is dependant on the 'item' registered...

I'm not an expert on copyright law by any means, but as far as I know, that type of copyright only applies to the website, and isn't really officially registered. Anyone can just tag a "Copyright ... 2007" on their site and it be copyrighted.
