Guest Posted July 19, 2011 Report Posted July 19, 2011 Dear All, I am pleased to announce that Emirates Virtual is now "ready to go"!! After months of hard work we have finally reached our goal and for that I want to thank all the team that has helped out. So here it is: www.ekvirtual.com Hope you enjoy, comments are welcome as well as critics as long as constructive. Kind Regards, Kevin de Leeuw Quote

stuartpb Posted July 19, 2011 Report 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. Quote

freshJet Posted July 20, 2011 Report 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
freshJet Posted July 20, 2011 Report Posted July 20, 2011 And the schedules are hard to read... Quote
MCS@celestialairvirtual Posted July 22, 2011 Report 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

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
