Earlier in the week we reported that certain LittleBigPlanet levels were being deleted by Sony moderators for reasons of copyright infringement. Having held its cards to its chest for a couple of days, the publisher has sent CVG an official response.
Here’s the important snippet:
"The vast majority of content uploaded to date has been fun and suitable for all of our community members. In a very few cases we have upheld complaints regarding unsuitable content or infringement of intellectual property, with less than 0.5% of levels actively moderated as a result of complaints from other users.
"Sony Computer Entertainment are committed to continually improving our moderation procedure and the methods of communication we use, in particular regarding the reasons that user complaints are upheld. In the meantime, here are some suggestions for all of our creators:
* Ensure that the content you share with other users is suitable for all ages – everybody has access to your level if you publish it
* Please respect other people’s intellectual property rights. For example, don’t use images, brands or logos that you’re not entitled to use.
* If you come across any content that you feel the need to report, then please do it responsibly. Hoax reports will be considered inappropriate behaviour.
"Thanks to everyone that has contributed to LittleBigPlanet so far. Keep enjoying yourselves!"
