If loleris is making RL money out of The Mad Murderer, and he is using copyrighted music, surely he is breaking the law...?

We have a policy in place for copyrighted material, and it is outlined in our terms and conditions.

http://www.roblox.com/info/terms-of-service

if somebody feels like their copyright or intellectual property is being used without permission, they simply need to contact us and we will work to remove it or change it.

As of right now, we've not had any issues with Loleris' content.

Isn't using copyrighted content not allowed? Can't ROBLOX be sued for having copyrighted pictures/audios?

That's what I thought, but I guess sueing is expensive, so most companies would prefer to ask ROBLOX to take it down than sue them for it...

I don't think it costs to sue someone.

Using an art without the permission of the creator of it for anything is not allowed - loleris also makes money of the audio indirectly.

Most people don't make RL money out of their ROBLOX creations, or in ROBLOX' case, either get a sponsorship deal or change it slightly, so as to not mention copyrighted material.

djmario2, that's what we're trying to find out, how they can use on their website copyrighted content and without any rule I know yet that lets them do so and be sure they won't be sued.

I don't think sueing costs anything, per say, but hiring a Lawyer is the real money drain...

Jas1066, it's enough to have one person that makes money out of it and since ROBLOX is the owner of this website and is in "charge", they will be sued, not the one who uploaded the content.

I never heard of a rule that would make the following legit: using copyrighted content and making money out of it.

I don't know if it'd be called "making money out of it" to just use an audio (object) in a game when you earn your money directly from the game.

Earning money from the game (directly) and from the audio (indirectly).

Jas1066, and you think a company can't do that? Also, they might get money from suing so that's the main reason for suing. If it's a big company they might already have a special lawyer and office for such things.

Most companies send a Cease and Desist order first which was what Gordon was saying

It's still surprisingly expensive. I think, from memory, in this instance, that Loleris would be sued for making money out of the music, but ROBLOX would be sued for earning money (from ads) from a game with copyrighted material.

Jas1066, ROBLOX is the company that owns the website, we're only "innocent" users - the "body" who let this content in the website is ROBLOX.

ROBLOX are "protecting" its users.

GreenPepsi7, there are clear rules for what to do in such situations.

ROBLOX is the company and it publishes those files in the site - not we, we just upload them, ROBLOX can be sued, not us, unless we own this website.
