 Is a criegslist clone script illigal?
But if your communty get lots of members, will you then get sued for copying the script? Hope someone can confirm or unconfirm this :) Kind regards Morten |
If you have the domain criegslist and have a site that looks almost the same, good chance you will get sued. |
Maurice - that is a typo I think He was talking about the Craigslist clone script on the Marketplace here. I'm not a lawyer, I don't know the risks involved, but I do think it is a possibility. I mentioned it more than a year ago on this thread: http://www.boonex.com/unity/forums/?action=goto&search=1#topic/Craiglist-for-Dolphin.htm They copied the entire Craigslist navigation structure and even use their name. If you are going to use it, I would take some precautions. Rob |
I know its alot of clone scripts out there, and with few members i dont think the owners really care. But if your site get popular you may have a problem. So i dont want to install moduls that i may have to delete if my site get the members i hope it would. So if any developer read this, can you change the script so the functions are the same, but names and pictures within the script is not a direct copy? I really want a new ads/clasifield modul for my page.
Kind regards Mortypop |
I agree, no one will care if it is little, but if it becomes successful they just might. If you use that, I would change as much of the appearance as possible so that it doesn't look like a copy, and I certainly wouldn't call it anything similar to "Craigslist". |
