A search didnt find any threads on this already, so i figured you might want to know. http://www.speed.cd is a torrent site i ran across, and noticed its logo is quite familiar.
Torrent site stole your logo!
They can wave bye bye then. That logo should be copyrighted to the devs.
hm, you think torrent site are bothered with copywrites?

lol i never laught out so loud ^^. As the post above mine already mentioned.... a site with illegal doesn't care about that ^^.
MUHAHAHAHA
Funny.
But can't blame them for doing what most other people do by searching for something along the lines of "speed logo" on Google Image Search: http://images.google.com/image ... UTF-8&sa=N&tab=wi It's on the first page of results right there

Don't Torrent sites have their foot in the door of that famous 'Grey Area' though? As they claim that they aren't doing anything illegal because they aren't physically hosting any warez/music/movies...
I think because of this, they could be forced to stop using the logo.
If not, at least their presence can be reported, and the proper authorities can do something about that site full stop.

exactly
Providing access to torrents themselves is a grey area, but the logo use is not anywhere in the least.
tbh. You may say "they dont care" but theoretically they arnt doing anything wrong. Its the seeders and leechers that are in the wrong.

Doesn't matter what they do or don't distribute. It's the very USE of a non-public image that's illegal. So it would be very easy to get a C&D order from any decent lawyer for the logo.
I'm guessing it probably wasn't David Sims from Texas who designed the logo for Scavier

Maybe me that is just silly, but - Whats the big deal?
Anyway, it`s copyrighted so shouldn`t be any problem to get it removed.

Would you want your shiny new game you've spent years on, building an image and a massive userbase, to have its public visual identity (the logo) associated with such a site (illegal or not)?
No? Didn't think so.
I would have went with the speed, no limits one
Maybe if they sue him they can make some money out of it
The lack of interest to make copyright laws more "bullet proof" is the reason that is not exactly illegal or legal.
It's like I have a list of drug dealers and killers and if you ask me I will give it to you. Now I can say that I'm not dealing with drugs or killing so am I doing anything wrong?
I`ll agree on that, but good luck getting a pirate place to care about copyrights
me too agree totally

those F#$@%*! noobs stole the devs logo! i cant believe this... Im going to complain right now to them!
wait some minutes and Scawen or Victor will comment this i guess 
Sorry for being a dullard... But before we all leap to shut it down, has anyone signed up? Does this site have anything worth leeching?
what would be ironic is if there was an lfs crack torrent hosted there, that would be taking the urine
In Short - No.
Have a look yerself...
