About all that copyright shit...See the other thread by ????? for that disclaimer.
No, wait, its my clipboard:
"The activities of this site fall under "fair use" as defined in 17 U.S.C. ? 107, as they are transformative and noncommercial, do not copy a significant portion of the copyrighted work and have no detrimental effect on the marketability of the copyrighted work."
All of it is true to the Pokemon Online engine. It is all non-commercial, no profit is made, and though this slows need for development, it keeps us safe. The only money we get are sponsoring gifts to keep the site and server up, mainly righ now through google ads, which are perfectly legal. Part 2, though we use lots of Nintendo materials, most of it is our custom, except in names of anything and sprites of old Pokemon. We created new Pokemon, new regions and completely rehauled Johto to a new level. New items and types and such overshadow the old as the game's majority and most of the tiles and art we use are custom built by our own staff. Part 3, this will do nothing to deter the sales of Pokemon games. At all. We'll still buy every new game that comes out, as will anyone else, since it's always good to keep up on the best Nintendo projects. If anything we're advertising, and we're trying to put out a temporary solution for the fans before Nintendo stops being stubborn and does it themselves.
Also, if you're thinking "PO's run out of Canada, US Constituion doesn't apply!", well we can avert that, we're even more lenient up here! If not, we can simply say its "run" out of the country with the best law on it since we're so multicultural. US, Canada, Holland, Australia, NZ or the UK..
The only thing illegal we've done is use ROMs, but if you come searching, you'll find our computers quite devoid of them, and without evidence, no trial can be set up against us."
Fweheheh, so as long as PokePC is majoritarily their own, certain things, like chipsets and coding, ranking above names for importance, and not sold for cash, you all =safe
