It is presumed this email led to multiple Pokémon games being removed from Roblox in subsequent years, including Pokémon Universe, Pokémon Arena X, Pokémon Reborn RPG, and Pokémon Brick Bronze. The tweet contains an attached image of him emailing Nintendo's copyright infringement email with links to Roblox games that were profiting off the Pokémon trademark. On October 16, 2016, taymaster tweeted that “ROBLOX Pokemon Go will soon be gone”. However, there have been cases of games being taken down by copyright infringement or being forced to rebrand the game to something non-copyrighted, usually if the game makes revenue. Since such fan games usually fall under fair use, they are usually not dealt with. Since Roblox is a build-to-create website where anyone can create anything, some people will create assets on Roblox that use the copyrighted material.
Players are not terminated unless there are repeated or severe copyright infringements. Roblox's Intellectual Property policies follow good-faith from the player, which means that the assets in violation are removed and the player warned. The player also allows Roblox to use any user-generated-content to the platform's liking. By creating an account, users agree to follow said rules and will be held liable for any copyright infringement that occurs.
Ĭopyright, Trademark and associated rules for Roblox are discussed thoroughly within its Terms of Service. Using copyrighted items without permission can lead to punishments including fines, jail time, and the removal of said assets. Intellectual property can include things such as music, logos, movies, plays, buildings, and books. Trademark allows intellectual property to be identified through a recognizable sign, design, or phrase, such as the Nike logo. United States Constitution, Article 1, Section 8Ĭopyright is the protection of creative works and intellectual properties from duplication.
