games: legal protection without patent?

Posted by DSG on July 5, 2006, 10:34 p.m.

Sorry… lots of blogs… i deleted 1 so i could free up space…. this is my 4th 1 today? spaced out alot tho… hmmm….

anyway,

YEAH! i think i know a way of how to protect a game without a patent:

USER AGREEMENT

they have lots of power, u no. type a user agreement a person must click "i have read and fully understood, and agreed to the user agreement" to before playing a game saying thay cannot in any way reproduce, duplicate, or steal any aspect of the game and blah blah blah etc etc etc….

WHAT DO YOU THINK?? a good way to protect something atleast until a game gets patented??

i donno if USER AGREEMENTS actually need to be verified by law… as far as i no there is no legal paperwork but breeching a user agreement is grounds for sueing someone in a court

I never read user agreements, so no. XD Although… If they agree, and you keep track of it somewhere, then possibly… But then if you took it to officials, they'd have no proof that it isn't fake or something.

User agreement? Doesn't a copyright do the same thing?

I don't read EULAs… they are useless.

Somebody cracks the game anyway.
