Take a look at this. All these games are FREEWARE, yet the CD is retailing at ten dollars in shops and online. There must be over 100 freeware games on there, and all are being sold for some unscrupulous price. Add to the fact that I only have MMF 1.5 Standard, and can't legally sell any games without putting a Fueled By Fusion logo on.
The screenshot with the link also states that the CD contents are copyrighted to Next Step Publishing. Surely this is illegal too.
I've seen my Smidgets games, Gunner 3, Factor X, all being sold without any one of us getting any cuts of the profits.
I'm very unhappy about all this...even though your games may be on it and they're spread around. What are your opinions? And can Clickteam do anything about this?
you're not paying for the software, you're paying for the CD its on.

No, that's the problem with the Freeware liscense. The Game can be distributed in any manner by anybody, however the copyrights and such are still with the owner. It sucks, but if you didn't want it on there I think they would have to take it off.
I will ask our lawyers but we can only bother them about the Fueled by Fusion logo on the outside of the CD. We do not know who said Yes or No to being on the CD.
Everyone who has a game on the CD needs to write to them and complain and "threaten" legal action if their game is not removed from the CD.
