Why was the image of the PokéBeach post removed? [[User:Turtwig A|Turtwig A]] 13:13, 19 September 2010 (UTC)<br />
<br />
==It's gone==<br />
So you can remove your flashy notice now.--[[User:Purimpopoie|Purimpopoie]] 04:00, 21 September 2010 (UTC)<br />
<br />
==End in sight==<br />
<br />
Someone might want to add this. Serebii posted this on his forum a while ago.<br />
<br />
''Right, I’ve spoken to the lawyer and, after I get just a little clarification, I will probably be able to return images to the site in the next couple of days, being used sparingly subject to fair use. I believe the images from Pokexperto plus all the leaks from 2ch caused him and Nintendo to react (still awaiting a callback from Nintendo of America)'' <br />

== YouTubers have received infringement notices too ==<br />
<br />
The YouTubers NickMatt07 and utuber6061 have had all their Pokémon Black and White Official Soundtrack videos taken down, due to copyright infringement. I don't know if it should be included in the article, so I wrote it here.<br />

== Just FYI: Reposting Copyrighted Material is PROTECTED by US Copyright Law ==<br />
<br />
Nintendo can send out cease and desist notices all they want, but the same US Copyright Laws Nintendo is envoking to make sites take down B/W material ALSO protects fan sites like Bulbapedia from reposting copyrighted material, specifically for the purpose of parody and review.<br />
<br />
It's called "Fair Use", and here is the law in question:<br />
<br />
* ''Notwithstanding the provisions of sections 106 and 106A, the fair use of a copyrighted work, including such use by reproduction in copies or phonorecords or by any other means specified by that section, for purposes such as criticism, comment, news reporting, teaching (including multiple copies for classroom use), scholarship, or research, is not an infringement of copyright.''<br />
: - http://www.copyright.gov/title17/92chap1.html#107<br />
<br />
Basically, as long as sites are merely reviewing Black and White or using it in works that can be legally defined as "parody" (which is why those fan-made Nintendo tshirts can be sold), or anything else that the law defines, then Nintendo can't do anything but try to trick sites into removing content.<br />
<br />
Don't fall for this, guys! --- [[User:Nick15|Nick15]] 19:13, 22 September 2010 (UTC)<br />
<br />
:: Well, I will say that this doesn't count if you're reposting the ROM to Black and/or White or share the soundtrack of the game verbatim, without any mention of it being used for a review or parody (ie a remix), then Fair Use laws don't cover that. But if Nintendo is requesting to take ALL Black/White material offline (such as screenshots, gameplay footage, review of new Pokémon and features, and so forth), then Nintendo can't FORCE you to take it down because that's protected by Fair Use Laws. Just FYI! :) --- [[User:Nick15|Nick15]] 19:18, 22 September 2010 (UTC)<br />

blurb=A recently released application for the iPhone, the aptly-titled Pokedex App, has caused a bit of a controversy with its content; or, more specifically, its use of Bulbapedia's content. Connecting directly to Bulbapedia's Pokémon articles, the application displays helpful information such as stats, evolutions, and types.<br />
<br />
The problem? The application costs $1.99 to download in the Apple store, while Bulbapedia's content is strictly licensed under the Creative Commons BY-NC-SA 2.5 license, which states that any derivative work of the site cannot be sold. }}<br />
== Block It ==<br />
<br />
Put up a line in the .htaccess that catches the user agent and sends them to a "You've been ripped off" page or something. --[[User:Navarr|Navarr]] 02:01, 15 October 2009 (UTC)<br />
:Good idea.--[[User:Mtn otter|Mtn otter]] 11:42, 15 October 2009 (UTC)<br />
::But it won't necessarily work; a browser (Pokedex App is one, in a way) can set its user agent to pretty much anything; they can imitate a known browser so the blocking of the user agent would also affect innocent people using normal software. [[User:UltimateSephiroth|UltimateSephiroth]] 15:14, 15 October 2009 (UTC)<br />
:::That is the main issue, yes. We don't know exactly where it accesses from, but I would assume it accesses the data much in the same way any user using the site would. So without direct access to the app's coding, we can't directly target it (yet) with such measures. Not without possibly messing up users trying to access the website normally through an iPhone. --[[user:Jioruji_Derako|<font color="#237d00"> '''J'''ïörüjï '''Ð'''ērākō.'''>'''</font>]]<small>[[user talk:Jioruji Derako|<font color="#237d00">''.cнаt'''''^'''</font>]]</small> 20:53, 15 October 2009 (UTC)<br />

== Lawsuit? ==<br />
<br />
Is there any way we could sue IPhone for this?--[[User:Mtn otter|Mtn otter]] 12:04, 15 October 2009 (UTC)<br />
:Can Bulbapedia report this issue to Apple? --[[User:Swampert|Swampert]] 12:33, 15 October 2009 (UTC)<br />
::There is a way to report apps for violations, but I cannot find the link. It seems like a good reason to pull the app, though. --[[User:Ceolwulf|Ceolwulf]] 16:06, 15 October 2009 (UTC)<br />
<br />
== Add a random Recaptcha ==<br />
<br />
Each time a Pokemon page is accessed, call a Recaptcha. Then set a cookie for i.e 15 minutes. When the cookie expires, display the recaptcha again. Or just display it once. Let's see them implement Recaptcha in that tiiiiny screen. >:)<br />
<br />
It won't be easy because they'll need to implement all the Javascript stuff, and then post to Recaptcha. They'll need to display the captcha, the textbox AND the keyboard as well.<br />
<br />

*I think that's good for a temporary measure, to stop the server strain while you get it pulled for legal reasons. [[User:Spriteless|Spriteless]] 18:01, 15 October 2009 (UTC)<br />

==Advert Complaint==<br />
<br />
I have a problem with some of the advertisements you put up on this site. I'm 13, I don't want to be asked if i want to find a 'hot russian woman'<br />
*Feel free to use another website with less invasive advertisements. Off the top of my head, Serebii.net and veekun.com have nearly all the same game data, and Serebii.net even has most of the anime data as well. If noone visits websites with these ads, then noone will make a profit by posting them.<br />
*Although, I don't see how this complaint goes here, rather than, say, in an administrator's talk page.[[User:Spriteless|Spriteless]] 20:29, 15 October 2009 (UTC)<br />
::Also, do note that we have a [http://bmgf.bulbagarden.net/showthread.php?t=29680 forum thread] specifically set up so you can report bad ads. We don't really want to be asked about hot Russian women either. (we can find them ourselves if we like anyway.) --[[user:Jioruji_Derako|<font color="#237d00"> '''J'''ïörüjï '''Ð'''ērākō.'''>'''</font>]]<small>[[user talk:Jioruji Derako|<font color="#237d00">''.cнаt'''''^'''</font>]]</small> 20:50, 15 October 2009 (UTC)<br />
