Copyright

Copyright, and how to report a problem.

Who owns what on this site, and the information we need from you if you believe something here infringes your rights.

Our own games

The twenty games we build are ours: the code, the artwork drawn at runtime and the sound synthesised in the browser. They are not derived from anyone else's work.

Licensed titles

The catalogue also carries titles published under agreement with their studios, credited on every listing. Those rights belong to the studios, not to us.

Third-party material

Anything else — a screenshot, a logo, a quotation — is attributed where it appears, and we remove it on request if the attribution is wrong.

How to send a takedown notice

Write to info@iptsi.com with the subject line Copyright notice. A notice that contains the following can be acted on straight away; one that omits them usually means a round of questions first, which costs everyone time.

  • Identification of the work you say is being infringed — a title, a URL, or a registration.
  • The exact URL on this site where the material appears, so we are looking at the same thing you are.
  • Your name, your organisation if you are writing for one, and a way to reach you.
  • A statement that you have a good-faith belief the use is not authorised by the rights holder, their agent or the law.
  • A statement that the information in the notice is accurate, and that you are the rights holder or authorised to act for them.
  • Your signature, physical or electronic.

What happens next

We acknowledge the notice, remove or disable access to the material while we look at it, and tell you what we have done. If a licensed title is involved, we also notify the studio that holds the rights, because the decision to keep or remove it is ultimately theirs.

If you think a removal was wrong

Tell us, and set out why — that you hold the rights, that you are authorised to act for the holder, or that the use is permitted. We will restore the material if that holds up. We would rather restore something we removed too cautiously than leave a legitimate page down.

Counter-notices and repeat issues

We keep a record of notices and how each was resolved. A publisher or developer who repeatedly supplies material they do not have the rights to will not have further titles published here.

What this page is not

This is a plain description of how we handle copyright complaints. It is not legal advice to you, and it does not replace the notice requirements of the law that applies where you are.

A correction rather than a complaint?

If a fact on this site is wrong, tell us which page. We correct it or remove it, and we say that we did.
