just a simple question

i was wondering how do you do the downloads.

do you go round the web and link to those downloads or do your load them off the web or can you upload them to you and you display them.?

sorry had to ask.

copyright etc.

noob question./.

 

You should be able to click on the program you want to download, then it will open a new page to download that piece of software, then over on the right side, you click on the location you want to download from!!

Good question. I'm curious as well because I sometimes will post programs to my site for friends, etc to download (like spywareblaster for example).

Is it OK to do this, or am I violating some copyright? I'm not taking credit for the program, just trying to make the download/install process easier for non-tech family/friends.

My bad...I misunderstood the question!!!

no not download hosting

 

do you not ask them for there permission before you download and use them or ?

 

Are you asking if a person coming to MG to download something has to have permission from the company that owns it before downloading? Short answer is no. Part of downloading any software is to check that you accept the user agreement, or your installation will not continue if you do not.

If you're asking if we need to get permission from MG before downloading, then the answer is definitely no. MG is the host rather than the software copyright holder, they don't care if you download or not.

If that's not what you're asking, could you please try to be more clear? There have been three interpretations of what you could be asking thus far, and complete sentences would be helpful.

 

OK I'm gonna have a shot now lol.
I first thought they meant downloading from this site, but now I think it's uploading the downloads to their website and allowing other users to download.

 

so if i download a program from another website and post it on my website for download do i need permission from the program owner to do this?

i have a prgram with copyright on it and was thinking of uploading it to the web for download and was told that people will download it and put it on there website for download ( breaking the law ) with out my permission.

 

MA is MG your fulltime job?

 

I'm still trying to work out what's so simple about this question after all

 

ok.

sorry to be such a pain.

so if i go round the web and download software and put it on my website i have to include a link to the original owner ?
i think thats write.

and if the owner objects then remove it.


only i will send the software and was hoping he would link back to me.

 

thanks i will send the files out now and get them to link back to my web site but supply them with the program for there website.


and while im at it i will do a little downloads section where people can download the programs asociated with that game like utils etc/
and if they do not want it there then they can ask for it to be removed .


nice 1

thanks guys .
