Here is my countries administrative law - http://www3.lrs.lt/pls/inter3/dokpaieska.showdoc_l?p_id=270440
number 214(10) is about rights of author.
There is NOTHING more about responsibility.
If you don`t believe me, then find lithuanina-english translator, and you will find out that i say truth. =)

What i provided, is valid, but so far:

1. The author shall have the exclusive rights to authorise or to prohibit any of the following acts:

It has right to do so, but there is no responsobility for sharing in NO commercial purpose. =))

It`s like you have right to say, that you forbid me to post here, but i still can post here, and won`t have any administrative resposobility for that.

p.s. oh, that document, that i gave you in english, looks like it is a bit old, 2003 year(see in below). So probably, is not valid anymore, since there are no administrative responsobility. Sorry. =))

 If he prohibits you from copying the material and then you distribute it he can make a case for lost sales and sue you for damages. Your unauthorized distribution of the game would allow a civil lawsuit to allow just compensation for your actions.

Further Lithunia is in compliance with the TRIPS agreement of the WTO which has the following to say "Creators can be given the right to prevent others from using their inventions, designs or other creations — and to use that right to negotiate payment in return for others using them. These are “intellectual property rights”. They take a number of forms. For example books, paintings and films come under copyright; inventions can be patented; brandnames and product logos can be registered as trademarks; and so on. Governments and parliaments have given creators these rights as an incentive to produce ideas that will benefit society as a whole."

 Computer programs are protected the same as literary works and paintings which are given in the Berne convention of TRIPS. Unless you want to claim that Lithuania is in violation of an agreement they signed up for 4 years ago I think I have made my case. Should I dig up the article stating that it is legal in Lithuania to sue for lost sales due to unauthorized actions or will you just stop posting and admit you are wrong?
