Community plugin project

But there is another way: Be the first and be the best!
It's just hard without an already existing customer base / fanbase.
I should make music, release some EPs and get some fans :D
And true fans will protect any of my work in any area of the www and maybe darknet aswell hahah -
@d-healey Ok but can I have a trademark on the GUI image or does the GNU license also effect images?
-
@UD-AUDIO - you cant trademark a GUI image - its a "TRADE" mark - a mark that identifies your trading entity, also have you looked into teh cost of trademarking?
- you are down a rabbit hole - get out now.
-
@Lindon Oh yes I mean copyright. The costs are damn high. But all I do is trying to find a solution to protect a plugin from beeing ripped.
I don't think you can fully protect anything.
And there is no global system for all countries. Well...My solution:
- Be the first and be the best :D
- Make your name big and get your website popular
There might be rip-offs but if people don't know where to grab the original, it wouldn't be my problem right?

@UD-AUDIO said in Community plugin project:
If the HISE license systems will get a nice indie license I would go for it.
There is already a commercial license system for HISE in place, but in your case I would just recommend GPL and don't bother about possible copycats.
-
I don't really understand your intention.
If you start a community project, it should be clear to you that it is usually open source. That basically applies to all components.Have you ever seen a stolen plugin or a stolen GUI?
If you don't want to make your work public - pay Christoph the licence fee and you can develop a closed, protected application.
Like some people do here. -
@Christoph-Hart Thank you! I will do so :)

@UD-AUDIO said
Is it true that anyone could rip this off because I have no copyright, even for the GUI?
This is the main thing I wanted to know. And if I can protect my GUI in any way.
Yes you're right and I agreed on making the project public to everybody.
But I wish to release it as VSTi aswell. And because of that I need to know those things :)I really never have seen a 100% identical rip-off.
I thought that open source is code only. Guess it will take at least ten years for me to get a solid knowledge for making commercial plugins.
Please don't get me wrong. I don't have a problem with that but I don't like to be uninformed.

Or you start now and learn along the way as everybody here :)
-
@Christoph-Hart Oh yes, I do so! Already changed my system language to English.
I am a real coding beginner now. :D -

Not with my glide script in there though ;)
-
@d-healey Aye! I will keep that in mind.

@UD-AUDIO To me the wood portion seems like a waste of space ?

@lalalandsynth We/I could make a minimalistic version of this with no desk
and vector design + colour picker for those who prefer to have a slim version
which is also customizable. I would like to compare both versions. -
@ud-audio What happened to the Project? Is it deprecated? I thought this collaboration project might be very helpful to learn something from @d-healey @Tania-Ghosh @lalalandsynth @Lindon @DanH @MikeB @Natan @Matt_SF @ustk @orange @iamlamprey @ulrik and @Christoph-Hart .
-
@dabdab Just came online because I had the feeling that I would have a message here and you said exactly what I had in mind to go online. :)
The project isn't deprecated but my real life actually needs a bit of my mind.Guess I should setup a blueprint with the concept as whole and in separated parts so anyone gets the idea and can give proper feedback/input.
Using a forum still feels unpracticable for me to discuss and make decisions
but I want to give it a try. -
-
@dabdab I think telepathy exists.
Thank you very much :) I'm not a christian but I wish you the same.
You are right..losing hope is not an option!
