Is Imagination Nuke Stealing Copyrighted Materials?
64bitguy writes "
I wanted everyone to know that the latest theft of my code and solutions has really negatively affected my desire to continue helping and contributing in the Nuke Community.
If you are either a PHP-Nuke user or an author of any Nuke solution, whether that be a small script, a block or a module, I urge you to read the article that I have written about this latest case of Copyright Violations and theft of code at The Death of Syndicated News?.
Note:I (Raven) personally contacted the author (perfect-games) after I received this article. I have always found him to be an upstanding guy and was very surprised that he would do this. He has responded back and told me what happened and I asked him to post his explanation.

I'd rip him a new aries for removing credits. What a * aries to do that. I hope your package dies.
Hope they sue the hell out of you. What your problem anyways, removing credit for what at least made something like dragonfly(cpgnuke) did with every author credit in it.

well i dont know the heck thats going on, back when i started on imagination nuke version 1 which was phpnuke 7.4 fully modded i had few guys helping me out and teching me a thing or to,
the reason i started with imagination was to get help in the future to build a better nuke, now futher down the line i developed serveral nuke versions, but one guy in partica who has called me the problems who is natsirk, i gave him free hosting for his scripts and bought him a domain name, quite often he gives be scripts now i find out that these are not his scripts at all but 64bits scripts,
the reason behind developing inuke 4 is to get some people see what can been done in speedwise in a fully modded nuke while it remains faster and smother then basic nuke from phpnuke.org
my aim was to give this as a sample before i release privite betas also public beta of phoenix cms, which is a total rewrite of phpnuke, but i not going to go into this now, but what i will say i have been lied to and decieved by the developer i took on, i have like 30 guys helping me out with the project , developers and beta testers, and now i have been blamed for all this.
i going to remove his script or see if i can get the real script from his.
i hope this will help you all understand, so if you do have a developer wouking with you, check them out first dont take there work for it,

Just to say, any copyright notice that the author of a script want website using it to display should not be very elaborate (which is not the case with syndicated news as far as I can remember). A 2-line copyright notice in a block just can not be afforded. I hope script author will bear in mind that a site using it should not look ugly because of the notices if they want compliance. I think best idea is to come with some standard within the community - my feeling is so far it is displayed and ackowledged in the site, may be in a public credit page, it should be acceptable. For ordinary visitors of a ordinary site, these notices do not mean much - it is the script author who should not be stealing and removing notices where it is due.

Does anyone have a copy of this lying around? I'd like to take a look at the copyright info on Workboard and other scripts that he may have added to his package.

I knew something this would happen to him once again and that's exactly why I offered him my help to make sure that all copyright are at it's place and help him where I can (knowing that I don't know anything about coding) to make sure everything goes well this time.
Steve, Steve, Steve... Why did you have to move that fast without asking me, Raven or anyone who offered to help to make sure everything was at it's place man.
Too many work hours have just went right down to drain ...
I hope that everything works out and all the issues are solved this time.
This was my last PHP-Nuke related project where I thought of helping others out to help myself.
