User blog:ICTTech/The Future of NFG - Legal F.A.Q.

Hello everyone,

Some major changes are happening to NFG, so here is a blog post to summarise it all. Also so that you don't have to go through several pages of legal stuff lol.

We have started a legal process of copyrighting the whole NFG Series; So here is a quick Q&A of what is happening- please if you have any questions, make sure to leave them in the comments.

---
• Q: What does this mean?

• A: This means that only the NFG Cast will have permission to use whatever has been created by them, and only them, no one else without permission will be able to use it.

• Q: Does this include music, voices, characters (key movements, character images, etc etc)

• A: Yes, it does, you cannot use any of these as lisited as above, as well the more detailed things, e.g. - if you somehow got your hands on a NFG Rig, you are legally not entilted to use it anywhere.

• Q: What does this mean for the future of NFG?

• A: Nothing at all! This legal process will not affect NFG or it's production anyway. This is only to secure the production of NFG for the future

• Q: What does this mean for me? Am I legally entilted to use any characters/voices/sounds/music if I am not in the NFG Cast?

• A: No! You are not allowed to use any of this in your own series, or "clone" them in anyway shape, or form.

• Q: I used some sort of NFG Before in my video's, does this mean I will get into trouble now?

• A: No, you will not, but we kindly ask you from refraining to using it in the future

• Q: I have been given permission to use something from NFG! Can I use it straight away? (Please note that not everyone can give away, only certain people can)

• A: Sure you can! You will be asked to do one small legal thing, but after that you can be on your way!

• Q: You have claimed that you we're given permission to use something within NFG, but you have been caught lying?

• A:  You will be given a strike, and kindly asked to remove it, refusal to do that (and you have uploaded on YouTube, Twitch, TikTok, wherever), action will be taken on the platform and it will be removed

• Q: You, for somewhat reason, do it again, re-upload copyright content, well... here is the saying, 2 Strikes, and you are out.

• A: What does this mean? You will again, be asked to remove it, but we will also take action straight away, as well as banning you from the wiki/fandom, YouTube comment sections, and the discord server(s). Maybe legal action, could be taken as well.

• Q: You have not learnt your lesson, and you do it again. What happens now? Oh buddy, you are in a hell lot of trouble with your parents

• A: On the 3rd strike, we will take legal action, it does not matter if we don't know your name, or address, or where you live, fandom can help us with that information, summarising, we will submit a complaint to the person (accused), with evidence, as well as proof of us giving them multiple attempts at redemption. We will also see it fit if to also submit a fine to the accused - under HM & WIPO's guidlines we have the basis to do this.

• Q: How do we know NFG Work is copyrighted?

• A: Well, technically starting now, all NFG work is copyrighted, but by seeing "Arifmetix", "Quwyatt", "© Arifmetix", or "© Quwyatt", in small letterings also means it is copyrighted

• Q: Can I use NFG Items within the NFG Fandom, Wiki Discord Server?

• A: Yes, only within these 2 area's and no where else. In Quwyatt's YouTube Community Tab is also fine as well.

• Q: You are ex-NFG, and you we're known publically, what can you do about your old design?

• A: We can arrange and discuss about how the rights can be wavered to you and your design, with legal basis of copyright ownership

• Q: I am within the NFG Cast (Revealed or Not Revealed), am I allowed to use whatever is within NFG?

• A: Yes! Since you already are within NFG you are most welcome to use whatever it is to your liking.

• Q: Under what legal basis are these covered under?

• A: We are currently under the United Kingdom (HM) and WIPO's International laws

• Q: What does that mean?

• A: It means if we we're to start legal action against an individual relating to NFG, all law's applied will be under the United Kingdom, it does not matter if you are in Japan, Australia, U.S, France, wherever, when it's legal action it will be under the United Kingdom's regulation, for it is created and based within the U.K.
