So ROBLOX is apparently deleting all copyrighted items on ROBLOX. This includes models, decals, account names..etc. This is a huge screw-up on their behalf and here's why. How many communities will it ruin? Probably all of them. ROBLOX Monster Trucks, screwed (The trucks are copyrighted) Ro-Racing (cars are copyrighted) WWE, decals are copyrighted, etc.
This is also going to ruin their little creators that they like to milk the crap out of. Because most of those games have copyrighted items as well.
I really don't even need to care about this. Because if it does happen I swear to god I'm leaving this site. |

| i don't understand copyright. for example, a car on roblox based on a real life car would be free advertising for the company. why wouldn't they want that? |

Literally half of my models inventory is gonna be deleted. IDK. Maybe ROBLOX will only deleted if threats of lawsuits rise to the surface, which Monster Jam probably wouldn't do and would help my case. |

| The Terms of Service were updated around 9 days ago. Perhaps this has something to do with that. Also, perhaps they're taking copyrights more seriously since they are doing sponsorhip events. |

| It completely goes against what Roblox is. Build whatever you want! If you can imagine it you can build :D No, wait don't build that, that's copyrighted. No, not that either! Let's just delete half your models :)) But remember, build whatever you want guys!!! |

It's simply basic copyright law. The way ROBLOX has it set up is that if the company that owns the copyright asks for the materials relating to said copyright be taken down, then the materials will be moderated. Accounts would have there names changed.
If you believe the materials to be used in fair use, then you can file a counterclaim against the company. If you do that though it can be taken to court which neither party would want.
They take it down because they feel like their asset is not being shown in a good light. For example, a cinema in a murder game where people can be shot inside said cinema. A cinema company wouldn't like that. |

Sigh...
Ignorance isn't an excuse for copyright laws. ROBLOX is required to follow the law just as any other company is. |

this will seriously hinder audio-uploaders such as myself. we'll be limited to only our own songs or copyright free ones. that's a very small selections.
if audios are targeted, we should receive full compensation. i've spent probably around 10k robux on audio so it'll be a grand shame if they're all taken away. |

When you upload something that is copyrighted, you imply you have written consent by the copyright owner to use that material. Therefore you would most likely receive no compensation as you shouldn't have uploaded it in the first place.
Ignorance is not an excuse. |

My favorite truck is probably Max-D
1. Always makes it into the racing finals and usually wins.
2. The truck reminds me of Mad Max which is my favorite movie series.
3. The only thing I don't like is the name of the truck. (Max #) |

Otherworldliness has probably explained copyright the best that anyone could on the forum.
If this is happening more often than before, it is possible that it is on the other companies' end, opposed to that of Roblox itself. As I have said before, the sponsorship events could be a reason; they have probably made more companies aware of Roblox' existence. |
