Offshore Base - Private Thread - No Posts

Yuri walks up to the podium in a proud fashion 'Today our nations senators, and cabnit have decided to put in 50% of our Military funding into a new project called "MMOSB" and more infomation will come out soon' Reporter jumps up in an eager manner 'Mr. President can..' Yuri says in a annoyed fashion 'No Questions!'. He walks of the podium and walks into his private room and sits down in his soft chair. 'I hope this will work'

Your project is in violation of copyright laws regarding my project on the same subject, for which I applied several RL days ago.

Stop your research and construction now, or we will prosecute your attempt to steal our project.

OOC: A little off topic here, but how did you get the pic to show up? I tried for about an hour to get it to link, but it wouldn't work. Any suggestions?

You just said it is a "mobile military offshore base" in the last post

At least you can lie with some logic

I can sell you some later, otherwise NO! Whether mobile or not isn't the point. Its the whole idea.


OOC: I don't mean to be rude, but I checked out if you copyrighted this in the copyright thread. I couldn't find a post from you copyrighting your project, which would be the only way you could put the copyright at the bottom. Did you post there and I missed it, or did you post somewhere else to get it copyrighted? Otherwise, since mine IS copyrighted for NS, you must cease further construction, research, or any plans you have of making your own base.

OOC: Hmm, well copyright is really about selling things....

I don't think either one of you can copyright the idea (they thought about using iceburgs to do the same in WWII) just the design.

I'm sorry but based on the rules that you can't copyright a RL item or concept neither of you can claim the right to copyright a 'sea base' but you can copyright your designs. :?
14-08-2003, 20:27
question... why would you spend half your military budget on a seabase, if your moving into space in 6 days?

LOA lemee repeat myself, incause u missed the post on the last page. Why build a giant seabase with half your military budget if your moving into space in 6 days?

OOC: Not including specs (of which thats going to be one huge f***ing base to have 2 shuttle launch sites as well as everything else you have listed), the only difference between yours and mine is that mine will be mobile, if you keep your proposal as it is and with the same pic.

Tell ya what, I'm willing to compromise. If you'd like, you can join my research team of nations, in which you'd contribute to a specific area of researching technology in exchange for production rights once the project is completed. You'd get to build however many you'd like as long as you participate. One stipulation: YOU CAN'T SELL THEM TO OTHER PEOPLE! You can only build some for yourself. Only I can sell them once they are made available.

If you accept, welcome aboard. If you don't accept, I will seek out a court to try you for copyright violations. Your choice.

Will you be moving half your military? Because you already have confirmed threats from people in space and on earth. Lose your population, or lose your seabase.

OOC: Not always. You can copyright specific ideas if you don't want other people to build them, and you don't always have to sell them. I was going to sell them, once I was finished researching them. I just moved to copyright the whole idea.

As for it being RL, it is not real, at least yet. There are only concept designs for this, no real actual example besides small experiments on things like stability systems or material testing (to see how long it can last in the salty sea)

Since when has that stopped other people from getting things in RL copyrighted in NS? Just because the idea was published in a RL magazine doesn't mean I can't incorporate it into NS somehow. Especially considering it isn't real in RL; just a proposal/idea.
Alcona and Hubris
14-08-2003, 20:38
No but the concept is from the RL world, you can copyright the design but not the 'concept' which is what you have been arguing. Now are you claming that there is a 'design' infringement??

Deal, but you can keep your money to construct your own. I figure we've put you through enough hassle that its the least I could do.

What the??? I don't claim any design infringement. The nations helping me build this are all allowed to make their own bases to their design and wants as long as they don't sell any.

I'm talking concept---the idea of something which you can incorporate into NS you just can't force other people to not do the same

Not 'Design' or what you come up with based on that concept in terms of materials, specs, namley the spicifics...

Example:
Concept---Gravship
A ship which uses anti-grave to support itself

Design---The Buka Gravship
a 3 million ton gravship using VX antigrav and opposable thrusters for propulsion armed with
etc. etc. etc.

Check pg. 2 of the research thread, in my first post on this thread.

LOA is worried about Allies because theres alot of angry countries out to kick him into the dirt.

But a Gravship doesn't exist in RL, which is my main point. Its only an idea, in which people have used in NS, just with differenct designs and such.

However, being that it is lunch time for me, I can't continue with posting. I'll be back on in around an hour and we'll continue this later.

But the concept does, just like FTL space flight or numerous other concepts that don't have any existing items...the idea is part of the RL world what makes you have the right to use a concept that you did not come up with on your own, but took from someone else?

Example:
Hell, No one has copywrited it yet...I'll go copywrite the tech ideas from Star Wars or Star Trek...that would start a nasty NS war.

I can't have a copyright on a gravship (There are eight nations with diffrent designs) but I can on the Buka...

You can have a copywrite on the design you have specified, but not on say a very diffrent design on the same basic concept of a 'floating military base'

So if someone later (out of 70,000 nations or so) says hey I build a massive floating dock for aircraft launches that has the same basic concept but doesn't even use the same materials or specs...you can't go after them about copywrite infringement.

Vs. L.O.A. who had the basic same design as you...
