Hello everyone, I'm sorry if this is asked frequently (which I have no idea), but I've been reading about copyright stuff, which is very scary and a bit confusing, so I'll ask directly my doubts for direct answers about my project.
Soon I'll be showing to the world a prototype I've been working for a while, which means, it's not for commercial purposes, and just for general feedback.
So, first question:
If I post my game in here, at yoyo forums, does my game gets a guaranteed protection(copyrighted?) right away? giving me full 100% owner of the project and able to sue anyone who uses my material without my permission?
Two:
As I said, the game its just a show off, theres no profit from it and totally free to play. Everything in the game was coded and drawn by me, but, except, every sounds effects and music (which I took from various games and would be hard to mention them all).
So, if I clearly state a Disclaimer in it, clearly telling I do not own any sound effect/music, would that be OK?
Three:
The game is free, but let's say, I could had a button in the post to accept donations, does that turns my game a "profitable" product? Meaning that could be dangerous since I'm not using any sound/music of my own?
Thank you for your attention, looking forward for some of your wisdom.
Regards.
