stuartpb Posted July 19, 2011 Report Share Posted July 19, 2011 I've just taken a look at the site, and I think you are really pushing the boundaries of what you will get away with there. For example, your timetables/routes map are merely a link to the real Emirates schedules counterpart. There is no explanation on your site that you are linking to the real counterpart, or any evidence of permission to use their materials in the way you have. I would seriously be worried that if the real airline finds out, they will have you shut down in no time. What you are doing could easily be seen to be misleading, whether intentional or not and certainly in the realms of copyright infringement.

freshJet Posted July 20, 2011 Report Share Posted July 20, 2011 I like the site! But you should find an alternative to the PDF timetable. Type it out yourself or something. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MCS@celestialairvirtual Posted July 22, 2011 Report Share Posted July 22, 2011 As far as the site similarities...if this the Virtual Emirates being discussed used their own code and didn't copy the current code used by the real Emirates then they are fine under current copy-write laws( certainly in the U.S. and many other nations ) because well their code their copy-write. However yes the links would be a severe issue possibly ( assuming Emirates cares ). But no more about the link I find my self part of a broken record. Good Luck to your Virtual Airline!!!!!! I love seeing new VA's it lets you know that there is real diversity within our current VA community. The person who speaks low of others is only speaking low upon himself. -Myself Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That wouldn't go down well... P.s. You can edit your signature in your settings, you appear to have pasted it in the message body... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
