Why would anyone want to plagiarize anything from this internet spaceship game

It is probably not even plagiarewrfdsgding, since its just an american madness that you can copyright anything. Having the same rules in your business as an other corporation is not stealing. Not argueing about it being unethical, or in this case, stupid. |

It actually can be very easily under the law. Probably not a good thing as it needlessly complicates the legal process, but yes it definitely can be illegal. |

I'm not sure if I would consider this plagiarism. It's embarrassing, but it doesn't seem like it would actually be illegal. Did CCP copyright their TOS? That would be kind of like trying to trademark the little symbol people put next to trademarked things. |

I am pretty sure you cannot copyright such things as Terms of Service. Assume, for example, a copyrighted account sharing clause: That would mean that other games cannot legally forbid this? That would be ridiculous.

apparently they get away with it cause of a clause in their **** that allows them to claim EVE ships and get away with it.

Halliburton is currently attempting to patent patent trolling (oh god the metagame), so I'm fairly certain that CCP could do something about them plagiarizing their TOS. |

Assume, for example, a copyrighted account sharing clause: That would mean that other games cannot legally forbid this? That would be ridiculous. But yes, it is embarassing. But not uncommon. I know of one corp that has copypasted their Code of Conduct directly from another corp to the point where the original corp is still mentioned in the text...... You are mixing terms like copyrights and patents.
The TOS is intellectual property. The originator (I hope CCP) put effort and money into creating these terms and probably hired lawyers to check them out. Only CCP has the right to use and copy (distribute) these specific terms.
Now someone comes along and steals those TOS. This is called plagiarism ... and is a crime in most parts of the world.

We shot them (the company that makes it) this message.

EVE Online is a notoriously dangerous universe. So we have to caution you -- in fact, we demand that you donGÇÖt follow our footsteps or use our copyrighted work.

This is a kind way of letting them know, way better than rushing in with the legal fist first! And it's good entertainment. |
