Custom Mario Kart talk:Privacy policy

About "All posted content is the property of its respective creators."

I think, custom tracks are never the property of the creators, because they always use copyrighted material. In fact, creating a track means editing a track made by Nintendo and exchange or modifying some subfiles without Nintendos permission. And if a third person edits the CT and redistribute it, he does the same as the ct creator before. So editing of ct (including the half year rule) can only be etiquette rules, but never policy rules. And fixing bugs, that don't change the track character, should also be allowed by etiquette . And (I think because of my experience) nearly all track authors like/accept anti glitch edits.

I had this discussion at the beginning of the Wiki with Tock. That was the reason for calling it etiquette.

I agree: No one can claim any properties on custom tracks, because creating a custom track violates Nintendos rights. That's the reason for cleaning file hoster accounts by Nintendo partners and for developing patching file formats like WBZ. So I find, that the old distinction between rule and etiquette was very good.
