Okay I am making this thread because I wanted to know a few things.
  1. I have some artwork that I made on the Disney Channel website and I wanted to know if I have ANY RIGHTS on posting it on here. (Disney has full rights on doing whatever they want to do with my art since I have used their programs on making it.)
  2. Does Disney have any rights to any fan sites like for example the Pirates Forums?
I have read everything and I could not completely understand what it said. All I know is that we can not use any of there work for any commercial/business. Meaning that we can not make any profit from their content or products and ext.
 
Lots of words.

About your first question, I'd say you may post it here. It is your creation, made with their software. If you decided to sell it to someone, you might get in trouble.

For the second question, no. We are not affiliated with Disney in any way, besides the fact that we are all fans of the same game. Disney is an organization, just like we are, although a bit bigger.
Pireatesforums.co is also a coalition of pirates for the better well being of the Caribbean as a whole

Um...not necessarily. When it comes to "specifics" of their TOS (terms of service), I know for a fact that they do take action.

For TOS related strictly to POTCO, please review this link below which I am providing:
If ye rely heavily upon glitching or hacking, I suggest you read the above link, word-for-word. :piratemickey:

Not wanting to start any kind of argument here or drama, allow myself to openly post the entire wording of this section you have referred to ^ above. And I quote:
AUTOMATED GAMEPLAY AND OTHER CHEATING METHODS
Click to expand...
Use of any software, code, device or other mechanism that allows automated gameplay, expedited gameplay, or other manipulation of gameplay or game client will in immediate termination of the Account. Disney reserves the right, in its sole and absolute discretion, to determine what constitutes manipulation of gameplay or game client.

Now, I do admit there exists different interpretation towards the level of severity towards POTCO "glitching." I do not deny that the game itself permits the availability of certain type of glitches to occur. What I do think the above is most referring to, however, are those types of glitches which would likely not occur if player/human activity (aka 'tinkering') were to somehow change/manipulate those in-game glitches which already pre-exist within POTCO.

Does this make sense to anyone? Look. IF the game were not so flawed, I suspect that we would not even be having this discussion (as the topic of discussion pertaining to in-game glitching exposes 'a lot' of grey areas to which this policy does not address). However, things being as they arrrr, the policy states that manipulation of any kind (despite our own 'good-will' intentions) are in violation towards POTCO's terms of service.

As a player, do I feel that POTCO glitchers are "evil?":evil laugh: NO WAY!!! Do I feel that it is justifiable to twist POTCO's policy and terms of service to better enhance my own (or others) gameplay? NO WAY!!! :muahaha:

*It's clear to me that Disney/DIMG does not particularly help the situation either by allowing such inconsistencies to occur. Regardless, I try my best to not take matters into my own hands. I hope that others, someday, can follow suit and possibly learn to agree. I apologize to ye mates. :oops:

You know, in further reviewing that policy stated above ^ concerning "Automated Gameplay and Other Cheating Methods," I think I misinterpreted the actually scope of what that policy was specifically stating (it had not mentioned 'glitching' really at all).

*However, I stand by the words I spoke concerning glitching (in general).UGH. :facepalm: Could Bobby or Miss Anne (or forums 'Administrator') please delete the duplicated posts above for me. Thank Ye!

Updated terms, as of July 10, 2014.

*I was wondering, would anyone be interested to hear/listen to a "conspiracy-type" theory I do have which might help explain (possibly) why Disney has permitted things to occur as they have, thus far? :confused:

If there is no demand shown for myself to further explain, I don't plan to press the issue. (Just interested to know if anyone is curious, or not).
