Forum: Proposed Bubblegum Wiki Legislation to have Copyright content deletion

From Bubblegum Wiki

This year, the Bubblegum Wiki Central Bureaucracy will introduce legislative amendments that would require all administrators and spamfighters to delete articles, images, audio, video, and other files that has a "Copyright Classification" template. "Copyright Classification" content is defined as: "copyrighted images, proprietary instructions from another company and/or material that advocates the owner of content." The deletion would take effect within 12 weeks of the passing of the legislation.

According to The Central Bureaucracy, "Copyrighted material" is defined as:

"material that belongs to an artist, or a company, who is, or appears to be, the owner of the content.."

According to the same act, "copyrighted material" is said to include owner of "an artwork, audio, video, paperwork, etc." under 18 who "appears to be" or is "implies to the infringer of copyright content." However, whether or not "copyright material" will be considered "Copyright Classification" content is yet to be determined.

In addition, the Bubblegum Wiki Copyright Affairs is currently drafting an infringement complaint form and to create a copyright strike template for copyright infringers. Whether or not overseas-hosted online games will also be deleted will "be developed drawing on this copyright complaint form process."

It is with the greatest gratitude, on behalf of our Central Bureacracy, that we must announce that Bubblegum Wiki is deleting its live programming operations as of this afternoon, and that the deletion will initiated under Section 7 of the Bubblegum Wiki Copyright Code to carry out an order by banning copyright infringers.

The very difficult artistic environment has had a significant impact on the people's creative work. National and local copyright infringement have risen drastically, causing many copyright holders nationwide to file a copyright complaint. Those wikis that remain are receiving copyright complaints as a result of new media piracy.

Copyright policies have changed for the better thanks to this revival.....but all the same our company cannot escape the laws of copyrights, trademarks, and patent holders. So we intend a rapid, orderly deletion over the next few days. All current users will be investigated for the time being. A infraction penalty will be given to copyright infringers with a ban of more than six weeks. We will strive to assist copyright holders and wiki users in achieving a smooth protection between fair use, Copyright, Trademark, and patent licenses.

We are proud that Bubblegum Wiki's mission lives on through the words and actions of so many former radio hosts who are active today in progressive causes and media nationwide. In the years ahead, as we look back, we should all be proud of our passionate determination to assure that a person's creative work would be protected from infringers. Through the hard work and dedication of current staff, and those who preceded to prevent piracy, the right of a person's artistic legacy was infringed which will now be prohibited through other media and technological resources.

Thank you.--Edtropolis 23:49, 24 January 2010 (UTC)

Here's my amendment to the Bubblegum Wiki Copyright Legistlation:

Title 1, Bubblegum Wiki Copyright Code, Section 1(a)(1), which prohibits the possession, copying, modifying, editing, distribution, and/or use of any type of the artist or company's ownership, including fan art or fan fiction, that violates the owner's trademark, creative or patent works as part of the Bubblegum Wiki's Code of Conduct which by any means a copyright infringement--Jtaylor1Class A 01:10, 26 January 2010 (UTC)

My addition to the amendment:

Under Title I, Administrators, Rollbacks, spamfighters, checkusers and Bureaucrats are excluded from being investigated of the intellectual property provisions of Title II regs that apply to traditional copyright content. Title I includes powers "which gives all authority to the effective performance of the Central Bureacracy's various responsibilities" to restrict fair use and prohibit copyright infringement.--Edtropolis 03:18, 23 February 2010 (UTC)

In addition to the legislation that restrict the usage of "nonexistent copyright holders," the amendment has clauses to restrict the Bubblegum Wiki use of copyrighted material through bureaucratic and administrative processes.--Jtaylor1Class A 15:39, 10 March 2010 (UTC)

An Additional Amendment to the legislation

Section 2: Restriction of uploads of Copyrighted Images

A prohibition and restriction on sales, lending or distribution to, or uploading by, violators of the copyrighted guidelines would cover:

A. Images which promote commercial revenue, or otherwise impede the infringement of a person's intellectual work.

B. Images which might be recognised as plagiarism, or appearing to be a fan art of someone's proprietary artwork, or which impede the development of copyright infringement of someone's intellectual work, or which might be feared to obstruct a person's proprietary artwork rights through commercial and non-commercial use.

C. If an image of a fan art of someone's artwork, an image from other sources (ex. News, Weather, Sports, Entertainment, etc.), or any other images of their own that doesn't have the {{Creative Commons}} template, the image will be immediately deleted, and the infringer will be warned (if by a first or second repeated offense) or banned (if by a third repeated offense) and be reported to their ISP, also known as a "Three-Strike Copyright Offense".

Another Additional amendment to the legislation:

Section 3: Legal Definition of Copyright Infringement

Applies to:

1. Protective copyright and patent ownership of drawings, cartoons, sculptures, or paintings against infringers and illegal uploaders.

2. the illegalization to produce, distribute, receive or possess images containing proprietary licence owner and trademark holder if it is also "copyright infringement."

Discussion

Copyright Infringement is the only felony crime I'm aware of, if an infringer copies a character from a TV Show, cartoon, and if an administrator finds it that the unlicensed artwork is illegal, they can be banned and be reported to their ISP. The Central Bureaucracy who specialize in piracy cases…guilty verdicts of copyright infringement and can tell are 100% reliabile. A ruling and a ban will be determined whether an infringer is copying someone's proprietary work would be ruled as copyright infringement by a vote of 3 to 1.--Jtaylor1Class A 04:19, 9 March 2010 (UTC)

Since there's no opposition against this legislation, this will now legally go into effect. This thread is closed unless anyone wants to make a contribution to the legislation.--Jtaylor1Class A 15:53, 16 June 2010 (UTC)

Vote

If the proposal makes it out by my approval, it will face a final vote by the Central Bureaucracy. If the Central Bureaucracy passes the legislation by a vote of 3 to 1, it can go into effect immediately. --Jtaylor1Class A 15:39, 10 March 2010 (UTC)

• I vote "Yay" for this policy and would like to add to the copyright legislation that any copyrighted material that falls under the Fair Use Clause of Bubblegum Wiki:Copyrights is to be deemed illegally misused.--Edtropolis 23:01, 11 April 2010 (UTC)

• "Aye". --Admin 22:26, 20 April 2010 (UTC)
