WEB DESIGN COPYRIGHTS

ok i would believe this would be the biggest topic of all time where does the copyrights for any scripting excluding software start and were does it end.

its amazing how people can say their html is copyrighted when a few million designers use the same thing, pictures understandale but not html, cgi, javascript, php, asp and all those other scripting related things.


yeah starting webdesign i took some ideas or plane out copyed the whole page just to get a understanding of it but still.. oh i could swing it the whole other way and say i might be wrong and its www protocal which i highly doubt that.

for all te javascripts that i see or used thiers alot of copyrighting going on and where credit due yeah some maybe orginal or simple to do but still when some crazy webdesigner is finding his layout all over the net saying they will press changes or some *BLEEP* like that can blow it out my *bottom*.

so i SAY SCREW WWW COPYRIGHTING IN ALL ITS FORMS

well i actualy want copyright on web design casue what if you made a design and a big company used it and put it on there site saying they have made it and other stuff.

i would like copyright to stay on web designs and templates.

yeah but what would you copy right you sure can't copyright most html thats for sure

i know i hate copyright on html its stupid.

Mick

you can copyright the logo and the design of your site.

I have done some researching on this and depending on the layout of your sight you can actually put the Copyright symbol on the page if it is truly unique design for intellectual rights. And win a copyright case in the US court system with it. So things like your logo's are more like trademarks then copyrights in all honestly but intellectual rights can be copyrighted and if used entitle you to money.

all the copyright is just a stupid thing

I think the only things that should be truthly copyrighted are graphics which you make your self for your websites.....>:( people steal my pictures I draw grrr

i agreed with bexa .. those graphic works should be copyrighted because it's all about the author's hardwork and creativity ..

I don't really think that scripts should necessarily be copyrighted, but I think that layouts and graphics themselves should be. A layout can be like graphics; that is to say, a work of art. I think you should be able to copyright that, so your design isn't stolen. I also think that original material on pages should definitly be copyrightd....like layouts and content.
