Hello there!
I have these little characters in my game to keep things straightforward, which use a UGC item created by Homeade_Meal as one of their body parts.
Now, I’m not sure how copyright works for UGC items, so therefore, if there is anyone who genuinely knows…I want to ask if a game can get taken down for copyright if they use a UGC item that doesn’t belong to them.
Thank you in advance!
If you’re using someone’s work without their permission - they’re more than welcome to DMCA strike you.
Before you or another person says that the item is in the catalog so it’s free real estate, Roblox has an agreement within the TOS saying that they are licensed to use your stuff for marketing reasons and they need to sign separate agreements where you give them full rights to use it. The same goes for UGC made by other people. You need to have their agreement to use it, regardless if it’s in the avatar catalog or not.
