Hello admins,
I'm writing this post in regards to a game I wish to release on Creativity, specifically regarding the protection of it. I intend to release it in due course as an open beta so people can enjoy it, but also report any bugs they may find however this obviously opens up the possibility of copyright infringement. I have clearly stated that all the graphics used can be distributed (as these were provided by 97thparallel in Creativity with his permission of redistribution) as long as credit is given to the author as formentioned. However, the sounds and the games' .exe cannot be redistributed. My question is this: is there any steps you can take in regard to punishment if this rule is not followed. I acknowledge it may be my game, my responsibility but since I am posting it on this forum, could you punish a person who did not follow said rule provided proof is provided to yourselves?
Many thanks for your time in reading this - also Merry Christmas!
Sam

I Know I'm not an admin, but I have an idea. Maybe you could password-protect the files, and then get members to PM you for the password, and then you only give the password to members you find trustworthy enough.

I was thinking of possibly doing that, however this does make it less easy to download as I have to PM everyone and this increases their waiting time to play, which can be quite inconvenient for them, however if that is my only option, it is the option I will take.

The staff would definitely stand behind you if any of your works were to be stolen. It goes without saying that the best guarantee that we can offer you would be sharing your work in the Fan Games Sharing Center, as access to that part of the site is tightly regulated. That being said, if you expressly state that you don't want your work redistributed and can definitively trace back a leak to one of our members, we'll take the appropriate disciplinary action no matter where you post your content.
The security of the file distribution is up to you if you decide to post the game in Creativity. I highly suggest that you password-protect your work since it will be posted outside of the Fan Games Sharing Center.
