	Plagiarism Policy

	This Page has been viewed 10,813 times UT200xFiles Plagiarism Policy Before anyone states that plagiarism can only apply to material which has been copyrighted, I'd like to say that you are wrong. Any sort of intellectual property can be plagiarised, and here at UT200xFiles, we believe in respecting the intellectual property rights held by those who create material for Unreal Tournament and other games. What does this mean, exactly? Well, when using original resources created by other modders, you need to do the following. Acquire permission to use the resources. Provide proper crediting to the author(s) of any resource(s) you've used. The original readme file from any resource(s) you've used, included in your zip file seperately from your own readme. Irrefutable evidence that you have permission, if the readme file for the resource(s) states that evidence needs to be included. Usually this can be achieved by requesting in your initial email that the one granting permission sends a CC to team _AT_ ut200xfiles _DOT_ com. In the case of base resources from other games, we request that proof of permission always be supplied. Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ) Q: What does plagiarism mean? A: Plagiarism is an infringement of intellectual property rights, which occurs when you claim credit for the work of others. Q: What is "intellectual property"? A: Intellectual property is any original material created by an author. Q: So, what do you count as original material? A: Anything the author actually created. Models, textures, sounds, maps, animations, so on and so forth. Unoriginal content includes sounds ripped from a game or movie, and any material ported from other games. Q: Porting? What is that? A: Porting is converting the material from one game to another. Q: Wow! So, I can play as my fave character from #### in ####? A: No, you can't. Without proper permission to use those resources, it is illegal, and is unethical in any scenario. At UT200xFiles, it will result in instant rejection of any submissions if proper proof of permission has not been obtained and demonstrated. Q: What about original material created for another game? A: Does it involve converting from one game to another? Then no, we generally don't allow this as there are too many hoops to jump through. However, the original authors may convert original material from one game to another if they wish, as it is their content to begin with, provided it contains no content they haven't made themselves, and that they can prove ownership. Q: So I can't use anything from other games, at all? A: Nope, not without proper clearance. Naturally, you can use any content from *Unreal Tournament* which has been sanctioned by the developers - sounds, textures, music, effect files, etc. However, you may not use anything which requires any form of reverse-engineering or decompilation. Q: What about commercial music? Is that OK? A: That depends on the disclaimer provided with it. Some music is allowed for non-profit use such as game modifications, however, some companies turn around and say "no". Be sure to read the legal disclaimers provided. Even if you don't check the disclaimers, the staff will attempt to do so. And yes, we will reject a whole mod over one piece of music, rather than just take it out. It's not our responsibility to remove unsuitable content and repackage your files. It's yours. Any music not integrated into the game will be outright rejected. Q: How will I know if my file has been rejected due to plagiarism? A: Usually you'll be informed by the staff why your file was rejected. If not, contact the site manager to find out the reasoning. We tend to inform you so that you can fix any problems and resubmit your file. Q: What if I can't contact an author to get permission to use content? A: Get in touch with the Site Manager or Vice Site Manager to discuss the matter. Every effort will be made to contact the author of the content. If no permission can be gained, the file may or may not be allowed at our discretion. Q: Hey! Someone plagiarised my work! What can I do about it? A: Contact the Site Manager or Vice Site Manager to discuss plagiarism issues. We're usually very reasonable on the matter, but you will need to be able to prove your ownership. Also, try and provide a link to the file, so that we can find it easily. If your material has been plagiarised on another site, and you're unable to resolve the matter, we may be able to step in and mediate. ~ The UT200xFiles Team This document may be updated and/or amended at any time.
