	Reposting elsewhere stuff youve posted on Apolyton Got spare money?

Ive written and posted, one section at a time, in multiple threads on the Poly Paradox Games Forum, a long AAR called "Whither Spain" (with various subtitles). I would like to post this material at the Paradox Forums. Would this be a problem? Alternatively I suppose I could just put up links to the Poly threads.

simply because you posted something on our forums doesnt mean that any rights you had on your writng have been transferred to us
so you dont have to ask us about this

if you feel like contributing to the increase of our traffic, linking to the threads would be great

I think I will link(as well as reposting my material), as there were some interesting comments made by others, and id rather not get into issues with copying THOSE posts. And of course to generate traffic.

Anything you post over a Paradox is Paradox's property, so if you've posted the AAR there, you'll need their permission to publish it. But I don't think it should be any problem if you just ask them to get a deal. I presume you don't plan to get publish in the near future though, few does.

Besides the ability to ban you for no valid reason I do not see how that can possibly be true.

That means nothing. Some things can not be so easily waivered and copyright to material posted on a publicly accessable bulletin board will almost certainly be one of them, if it was ever challenged in a court of law.

You could put a clause in the terms and conditions requiring that members must fly to Greece and give MarkG backrubs for every 10,000 posts they make. It ain't gonna happen.

Dauphin is right. If Paradox tried to enforce it, it'd never hold up in court.

Especially when they bury the clause in the middle of an FAQ. They may have half a chance if they made it in large bold red letters on the home page, or at least the first thing you see before you register.

I know of where I speak, having recently passed a professional exam in contract and business law which covered amongst other things...waivers in terms of agreement.

Granted I only know local laws, but they aren't that dissimilar in free world states.

State that the first 1,000 posts are free trial and then you have to pay a $1 (?!) one-time only fee for further posting, alternatively you can sign upto Poly Plus for the deluxe service.

Or demand backrubs in the forlorn hope DrSpike, Paddy, Jamski and Skanky to name a few actually feel compelled to do so.

wow, you guys are great. Youre afraid that Paradox will deny me the vast royalties from publishing "Whither Spain", and undoubtedly look forward to seeing it your local Borders. Or even your local Walmart, heaven be praised. And then theres the movie rights - who will play the first Don de la Frontera, I wonder?


Have any of you guys actually READ Whither Spain. While I liked it, I dont think Im sacrificing too much by posting it on Paradox

thats kewl - not everyone is into this sort of thing. Which is why i want to post it at Paradox, where theres a whole forum for EU2 AAR's. Though we need SOMETHING to keep the Poly Paradox forum alive

Indeed we do. I have been almost the sole contributor to keep that forum alive for a long time(exceot the last month or so), but it always fades away as soon as the subject(s) are discussed to death a couple of times... Over at Paradox I am much less active(almost 2000 posts there compared to the double I think here in half a year less), but I read a lot. I am seldom in the EU2 section anymore, most of the skilled people has moved over to HoI2 in particular and to a lesser degree CK and Vickie.
