I've been working on my texture pack and I had a thought. Do I need to copyright my work? If so, could somebody please give me some advice on copyrighting texture packs and how to do it? Five 's for you if you help me! :biggrin.gif:

technically, i guess you could but it's not very neccessary. Seriously it's just a texture pack and there's no need

you dont HAVE to, cause its just a texture pack, but you could if you want

Ignore this guy's post, he doesn't know what he's talking about.

It's a rule that you MUST have some sort of license/copyright info on your pack. Read the stickies for more info. :smile.gif:

edit: Wait a sec, Steel got rid of the rule?!

Yea. Its not necessary, but if you wish to, regard to the link below to learn how:

Ok then. Thanks for clearing things up, I've heard multiple answers, and I don't really feel like going through the whole copyrighting dilemma. Thanks everybody.

EVERY CONTENT PACK (MAPS, MODS, TEXTURE PACKS, TOOLS ETC.) MUST PROVIDE SOME FORM OF LICENCING FOR USE, DISTRIBUTION, RE-USE, ETC.

I forgot to mention that the rules want you to, I am a fool, spank me Mirror. :C

You're off the hook..this time.. o;<

Yeah, Grugsy, it's pretty sad that we put those threads there and nobody touches 'em.

I lose my sanity 5 times a day.. oh wait, that's something else isn't it? (I actually am at the moment being around this forum alot losing my mind about 5 times a day to be honest.)

And God, my sentence structures go to hell when I'm tired.

Probably the worst thing today is those "see-through super new concept x-ray" packs.

Sure you do, if you don't want your textures plagiarized... legally..
But, that's totally up to you..
Just keep that in mind.
