4: Publishing/posting
All
content on CW boards is the property of the CW.
By publishing on our boards you relinquish any claim
to ownership to the posts or material on the message
boards. Though, somewhat of what you post is "yours"
it becomes CW property because you are using our
boards to post your stories/matches. This also protects
the CW so that players do not threaten this e-fed
with invalid claims of owning a post such as leaving
the E-fed and wanting all their posts stripped or
sent to them.
By using OUR resource to publish your material-
you have no say-so. If you are banned- the content
you posted is still the property of the CW.
If
your found to be working for CW as a news columnist
or any other position that creates published news-
you are not allowed to have complete control over
everything that you publish. The CW has a strict
policy on keeping balance and reward players fairly.
Publishing columns can drastically influence the
flow of the game and as thus, any type of columnist
will have to report to the CW Administrator. The
Administrator has the final say-so over columns
published anywhere on the CW.

contains "creaturewrestling" in the address- we
will pursue legal action. We will also pursue any
sites that falsely claims they are a part of the
CW by the name Creature Wrestling of any sort.
The
cost of the domain name is paid by the owner of
the CW willingly. Anyone can promote the domain
name, site or boards etc. There are banners available
as an option.
CREATUREWRESTLING™
is trademarked. The name was created in 1999 and
has been in use ever since that date by the owner
of this website and company. |
CREATUREWRESTLING™ Ownership:
Ownership
should be understood that the CW and site are logically
owned by its founder. The CWE/ECF are E-feds that are also
a part of the company and is thus owned by the founder.
Each player/team helper owns his/her story line/character/angle
and accomplishments in the CWE/ECF game play. The owner has
no right to claim ownership over player story line/character/angles-
however, if these are posted on any board the post and it's
contents become property of CW. Players may make website's
to host their bios/have forums to discuss CWE/ECF stuff/and
chat rooms, but they may not steal our graphics or html coding
to put on their site. If you need more information please
e-mail me at Admin@creaturewrestling.com
About Emulated E-feds or web pages:
CW: CWE/ECF is an independent E-FED
game site. In addition, the CW respectfully
recognizes itself as the originator, owner and founder of
"Creature Wrestling", and all copyrights are active and
will most certainly will be enforced to the best of our abilities.
E-feds that spams the CWE/ECF boards, or
bring in their titles that were not okayed by the promoter
will be immediately removed. The CW will press charges against
any organization/E-fed that use our original imagery etc.
That includes flash, images or other forms of visual that
was created for the CWE/ECF game play.
E-feds that were created by former CW players in order to do harm to our roster,
game play and/or reputation will be immediately ignored and regarded as emulated E-Feds ripping off
CW material. Any form of in-game timeline and any chance at an affiliation with our E-Fed will also
be disregarded from these emulated E-Feds.
Furthermore- slander done on other e-feds,
E-feds making up chain concepts to try and hinder the CW's
growth and provoked personal attacks are clearly issues
that we don't tolerate or harbor. CW's timeline and official matches only
exists on it's official message boards and no where else on the internet.
CW Players however that are on the roster will be monitored
if they also play on E-Feds that are in the business to
personally attack this E-Fed. However as much as they try,
this isn't television and in no way they have any leverage
on our organization.
Our
system is regarded as unique and original- this does not
mean that being an official (past or present) gives you
the right to copy or use the game system
or claim founder ship/ownership. Any E-feds copying our system is regarded lowly and shameful.
CW will also not have affiliation with places that shameful
disrespects this organization as well.
Personal
Attacks and Acts of Malice including "Suing":
From
the CW Administer on this topic:
"Even
though the CW E-Fed is a wondrous place, there
comes a time when a disgruntled player or some
fan believes that they can attack the E-Fed and
produce outrageous claims.
These
made-up rights from these disgruntled people are
exactly that- made up.
The
ability to view a site from your browser does
not allow one to own that site even if you purchase
the internet provider's service to view it. The
only way a website could be sued is if 1) that
site is a commercial site and you have purchased
a product from it. 2) if that site has copyright
infringed a work of art that isn't within public
domain. A work of art is legitimate if the imagery
has been created and documented officially. Literature
on the internet, and even imagery, are at the
risk of the owner. Unlike digital proofs or reproductions
scanned and made into images for sites- Literature
has no true rights unless it was published and
accredited in a tangible form. Such things as
tag lines or trademarks CAN be enforced on the
internet because there is a patent. In truth,
there really isn't any ground rights and rules
across cyber space.
However, CW makes it very clear that when you
use our resources to produce your stories or expressions-
you do so with the understanding and agreeance
that you hold no rights over what happens to it
on the boards. This is referred to as public domain.
CW
is a non-commercial site, a fan site and most
importantly- it's a FREE site. No tender of any
kind was exchanged or valued. Any false claims
or threats will be ignored and brought to the
attention of their service provider if they persist."
The
CW Administrator has obtained legitimate discipline
on copyrights and one's rights over a body of
work including the internet and can distinguish
between true claims and false claims.

Freedom
of Speech
We
reserve the right to publish anything that we so desire
within the realm of our own game rules. Only authorized
officials will be allowed to publish articles and columns
of any topic and purpose. The Owner has the final say-so
for anything that gets published.
We
also reserve the right to say whatever we want about other
E-feds that are not a part of our organization. Those
associated with those e-feds in our E-fed cannot use our
public forum to counter point- it would have to be through
private e-mail or aim. Becoming a player on the CW does
not give you the right to do whatever you want. The CW
does not serve you nor do we have to answer for our own
actions. By joining the roster- and even entering the
site- you agree to all the game rules and copyrights in
the CW. You have the option to leave if you don't like
them.
