Games under copyright on your site!?

[Shawn]

Hi there,

An interesting legal issue bothering me lately...
There are lots of games with different super heroes and cartoon heroes that are under someone's copyright. So according to the law issues we should buy license to use the games like that...or the right owners can sue you.
Am I right? Or it's ok to place games with Shrek, Tom&Jerry or Winx on my site?

I'm not going to give you a direct answer because I'm not to sure myself. I have found that in many cases as long as you don't have a premiere game on your site then you should be fine. What I mean by premiere game is that say the new Batman movie came out and whichever production company released the movie offers a game on their site to advertise the movie. If you find a way to steal the flash movie from them and display that on your site, that would be considered illegal. Although, I have seen other sites do these things.

If you find a definite or more precise answer for your question though, Please share ,

Thanx
