Dum question :)

*Chester* · 31st December 2001, 14:43

Right, this might be a dum question but i don't wanna get in shit.

If I wanna make a skin of my radio do I need SONY's say so or do I just make one an f*ck SONY?

Only askin' 'cause I don't wanna end up in shit 'cause I didn't have permission to make the thing

Why don't you ask Sony themselves, cut out the middle man?

Sony terms and conditions regarding usage of content from sony.com

Sony.com Feedback form

No one here will give you the correct answer, because, dun dun dunnnnnnn, I doubt any of the people who visit here work in the Sony legal department. Any advice that is given in here could be incorrect and could lead to costly legal moves for yourself.

You have been warned, tackle Sony at your own risk, but if you think you can beat a company that earns 58.5 billion $ each year, go ahead

, I know who my money would be on

by the way, wildrose wally once asked Sony the same question and they said NO..

Oh look, post number 30,000 in the skin love forum, yay

Forevever · 31st December 2001, 17:27

take it from me
don't ask.

flatmatt · 1st January 2002, 01:44

Quite. I say post it, if they ask you to take it down, oh well. You take it down. They're not going to sue you if you take it down upon request. Because there are always Sony employees browsing the database for copyright infringment, eh?

Wildrose-Wally · 1st January 2002, 02:18

Make your sony skin as good as you can, and then put a fictional name on it. They do not own the rights to a name like Sunny I would say.

PeaceMaker · 1st January 2002, 02:38

yeh, have any Sony skins in the database now been taken out?? or have the skin makers been asked by Sony themselves to be remove their skins.. I don't think they have. You could have a go, and create ANOTHER Sony skin, or you could call it Phony or some shit?

Wildrose-Wally · 1st January 2002, 02:54

To the best of my knowledge, no Sony skins have been removed because of their name except my own. It got a namechange and was republished.

Ch33zels · 1st January 2002, 04:49

call it Sorny

hehe the simpsons are funny

Nini · 1st January 2002, 17:38

add a note that you'll remove it if they ask and that you dindn't know, blah blah

BTW if you don't call it sony but use the logo - that's still a copyright infringement

*Chester* · 3rd January 2002, 10:30

I'll make it for my own use then.... so sony won't no, SHHHHH!! Don't tell them! lol

PeaceMaker · 3rd January 2002, 11:32

hmm, its not like Sony are going to lose any profit are they.. well unless its giving them a bad image, which is pretty hard unless that is your plan

Bizzeh · 3rd January 2002, 20:47

only have one thing to say.... if they dont like it... so what... "fuck 'em"

bobo · 4th January 2002, 21:16

i always thought that you COULD use a company logo if it was for non-profit stuff (like skins). maybe its only this way in sweden or maybe i dreamt it. i say, like dexter, if they dont like it, fuck em

If anyone can find any of the skins I made please email them to Forevever@aol.com I can't remember all the names but specifically hunting for Lascivious, and DEVOUR (compilation with Jax) and any in the Impulse series which had 6 total. Auriferous, Gilt, Impulse, Nadir, and 2 others I can't remember but you dig.
