Author Program

We take copyright issues very seriously.

Recently copyright policy has changed on FlashDen. You can read more about our current policy here, or read on to get an understanding of how we deal with violations.

One Strike Violations include, but are not limited to:

1. Uploading a file that is not your own creation, and that is being sold on FlashDen or elsewhere
2. Uploading a file that is not your own creation, and that is being distributed freely elsewhere WITH a license that prohibits resale or redistribution.
3. Uploading a file that contains a virus or other malware

Penalty: Any author responsible for such a violation will have their account DISABLED immediately. Any cash on the account will be held indefinitely and the user will not be eligible for a new account on the site.

Appeals: Appeal can be made for reinstatement by contacting support to discuss the matter, however any author seeking reinstatement must provide sufficient cause.

In recognition that some areas of copyright are a little grey, these violations have a less severe penalty. Nonetheless they will lead to action if the author does not respond and/or take appropriate measures.

Warning Violations include, but are not limited to:

1. Uploading a file that is the output of a tutorial
2. Uploading a file that is not your own creation, and that is being distributed freely elsewhere WITHOUT an appropriate license.

Penalty: A warning will be issued by email. Offending files will be immediately removed from FlashDen and earnings from those files held indefinitely. Further violations will results in escalation in the penalty.

Appeals: Appeal can be made for a file by contacting support to discuss the matter.
