Copyrights & law stuff

[Vlcendo]

I know there was a event, where community can post weapons/characters ect. and those are now property of PB 2. But im asking, does same rules apply on art, which i can put in the new map editor? Example: I put here danger stripes (I don't care about these) and are they now property of PB2? Or can i remove them anytime i want? Can i still use them in my own game/animation or video? Thanks for answers!

I believe that you as the creator of the art has still the rights to use your own art.

good rule to follow is that whatever you make, you technically own the copyrights to that creation unless stated otherwise. obviously some exceptions apply like copying/recreating something not yours but original stuff will be 100% yours until you decide to give up copyrights

You can't remove approved stuff by yourself but you can ask for removal (just so sudden removals don't break other users' maps).

I'd not say that these are our property after approval. In reality I would not even mind if map makers would use PB2's .xml versions of their maps in their own projects, even if they were approved for ranked modes.

We can't remove characters & weapons from Plazma Burst 2 itself as easily though, especially if some of it might be connected with lore of series (also there are high chances that version with removed content will still be available on plenty of websites around the world). Custom decorations and background textures aren't tied so heavily on the other side.
