Does anyone else know about this?

Discussion.
As far as I know, anything you upload to Graal immediately belongs to Cyberjoueurs based on the agreement that you make when you create an account.

By default, anything you create is technically copywritten to yourself to protect your work from being stolen and used by someone else. However, you are willingly giving your work to Graal, so therefore you really won't have any grounds to demand it's removal.

Think of the work you upload as a gift to Graal. You cannot take it back once it is given. If you *do* take it back, Cyberjoueurs has the right to pursue legal action because you gave it to them and agreed that it belonged to them.

Saying "but I'm underage and I can't make agreements like that" is not going to fly. The judge would probably determine that you're old enough to understand the agreement and that you're just trying to harm the company by removing your work.

Basically...

edit: A good example of this is Yen and his scripts. He demanded they be removed yet they are still up. If he takes them to court what is he going to say for his defense? That he donated these things to the game and now that they banned him he wants to "un-donate" them? You just can't do that. It's not as though a contract was signed that said he could ask for his scripts to be removed at any time and they would have to do so.
