Rules[, not functioning under a current os, is not sold anymore, will never be sold anymore and is only kept alive by enthusiasts.I am not aware of any actions of WotC to get the program offline. Irrelevant. ROMs of games nintendo made for the NES also fall in the same, but links to ROMS aren't allowed either.If that is illegal, then Cockatrice is also illegal as that is a direct competitor of MTGO and Hasbro is actively trying to get it offline. There are some double standards here on this forum.No, because the creators of cockatrice gave consent for the program to be distributed. Cockatrice IS NOT OWNED by Hasbro. On the other hand, Shandalar is/was owned by Micropose, and as far as I know they never gave permission for its distribution.Making copyrighted software, and stealing copyrighted media and 2 completel different things.*facepalm*Please read what I was quoting. I was not talking about the legality of cockatrice. I was talking about feyd's assertion that end-users cannot be sued.

I was not talking about the legality of cockatrice. I was talking about feyd's assertion that end-users cannot be sued.I read the whole thread. You are comparing Intellectual property laws(Civil court) to stealing(criminal court). More so, what good can suing mtg players do? Besides pissing off the rest of them?On topic: I would like an admin to clear this up. Are we allowed to still discuss Cockatrice while it is in legal limbo? Yes or no? #21 Mar 22, 2013 bLatch View User Profile View Posts Send Message Immortal One Join Date: 1/18/2007 Posts: 8,805 Member Details Because one is illegal and one is not.No, both are illegal - or at least both are asserted as being illegal by WotC. Further, the argument that Cockatrice violates copyright law is not as easily bested as you might think. It is accessing and using copyrighted images owned by Hasbro/WotC in violation of the terms of service for access to those images. #22 Mar 22, 2013 bLatch View User Profile View Posts Send Message Immortal One Join Date: 1/18/2007 Posts: 8,805 Member Details No, because the creators of cockatrice gave consent for the program to be distributed.

Magic (and Sally) ecosystem. If Sally suppresses anything that smells like something WotC would disapprove of it's only going to drive people elsewhere. This is not to say Sally should allow discussion of some activities that are certainly across a line (i.e. proxies). #26 Mar 22, 2013 VegaTDM View User Profile View Posts Send Message Archmage Overlord Location: NC Join Date: 12/14/2012 Posts: 1,110 Member Details The catch is, every time you run Cockatrice it makes temporary digital copies of copyrighted content that *is* owned by Hasbro, and that the Cockatrice creators do not have the rights to distribute, freely or otherwise. If you think that doesn't count as "copying" for copyright then you are sorely mistaken, indeed courts have previously held that reproducing something in your RAM buffer can constitute a violation of copyright.Do I agree that this is the way the law *should* be? No. But, how the law *should* be is largely irrelevant to the present issue. What is at issue is how the law *is*.(edit: unless, of course, I'm misinformed about how Cockatrice operates which is a possibility)Pretty sure fair use laws covers that. Every time someone looked at any type of art their computer caches a thumbnail, or at least temp stores the data in RAM.Also did they accept "donations"? If they did they might be in some hot water.

If you are unsure about what we consider okay or not, please contact a member of the staff. #2 Mar 14, 2013 UsaSatsui View User Profile View Posts Send Message Archmage Overlord Location: Massachusetts Join Date: 5/23/2010 Posts: 1,491 Member Details I really don't know enough about the situation or the program, but just sending a demand letter doesn't necessarily mean the person receiving it is doing something illegal or in the wrong. Sometimes big companies send them as a bullying tactic even if they wouldn't necessarily win in court, and many times recipients simply comply to avoid any trouble even if they're right.

Location: MTGNexus Join Date: 1/1/2005 Posts: 9,738 Member Details I'll let an admin handle the actual question of discussion, just in case, but as far as the legality of cockatrice...Using Cockatrice is not illegal. The makers of Cockatrice have allegedly broken copyright laws by creating and distributing their program that uses copyrighted materials that WotC owns. However, such legal trouble only extends to the makers and/or distributors of the program, not the end user. Consider it like the company that makes an iPad knock off, gets sued in

I dont think there will be any backlash from discussing alternate servers for cockatrice as long as no money changes hands. Its like when activision went after WoW private servers, the ones they targeted were the ones making boatloads of cash in "donations".Carry on Sally, carry on. #15 Mar 21, 2013 UsaSatsui View User Profile View Posts Send Message Archmage Overlord Location: Massachusetts Join Date: 5/23/2010 Posts: 1,491 Member Details I posted a link to a program from 1997 with outdated rules, not functioning under a current os, is not sold anymore, will never be sold anymore and is only kept alive by enthusiasts. I am not aware of any actions of WotC to get the program offline. Still I was suspended for a week. (I appealed for that and never received an answer.)If that is illegal, then Cockatrice is also illegal as that is a direct competitor of MTGO and Hasbro is actively trying to get it offline. There are some double standards here on this forum.If you're talking about the Microprose version of the game, then yes, that was illegal. It was a copyrighted program that you didn't have the rights to distribute. That breaks the law, even if the program is old and not on sale anymore.The issue with Cockatrice is actually an entirely different thing. From what I understand, the creators allow the program to be distributed freely. What's going on is Wizards is claiming the program violates their copyrights. It's an entirely different situation.

They may take on, and I would really like to be able to use this site to help that cause, but I also don't really want to stir up any trouble. #10 Mar 16, 2013 UsaSatsui View User Profile View Posts Send Message Archmage Overlord Location: Massachusetts Join Date: 5/23/2010 Posts: 1,491 Member Details I'd still really like an actual response. I've been considering reaching out to the Cockatrice mods about starting a Kickstarter to help cover any legal fees they may take on, and I would really like to be able to use this site to help that cause, but I also don't really want to stir up any trouble.Kickstarter can't be used to raise money for things other than projects you're trying to fund yourself. It can't be used to raise money to help cover legal fees for someone else's project.

I don't want to spoil what I have in mind until there is a for-sure green light to move forward from the Cockatrice staff, but I will say that it would make Hasbro pretty red in the face. #12 Mar 19, 2013 Valarin View User Profile View Posts Send Message Immortal One Join Date: 9/11/2010 Posts: 5,831 Member Details Regardless of the legality, from the last "State of the Community" thread, the very first bullet point under Long-Term Goals is "Try to patch up our rocky relationship with Wizards of the Coast."Is allowing people to help people keep using Cockatrice by swapping XML files and advertising alternative servers and the like going to help MTGS repair their relationship with WoTC? It's the same thing as the box mapping stuff. No, it's not illegal, but is openly mapping sets and swapping software to aid in the process in any way going to help repair this sites relationship with WoTC? MTGS allows posting of leaked topics and cards, allows free and open collaboration to map boxes, allows free and open posting of how and where to continue to bypass the C&D and continue to play cockatrice, and wonders why they have a bad relationship with WoTC? I think MTGS needs to have a serious discussion about what the site is trying to be and either start restricting discussions on certain topics, or abandon that particular Long Term Goal. You can't do both. Last edited by Valarin: Mar 19, 2013 #13 Mar 19, 2013 rezombied View
