Intellectual Property Protection & Notice-and-Takedown Procedures

1. Commitment to Intellectual Property Rights

ShishaWare Games strongly respects the intellectual property rights of independent game creators, digital artists, software developers, and publishers. It is our policy to respond expeditiously to formal notices of alleged copyright infringement in compliance with the Digital Millennium Copyright Act (17 U.S.C. § 512, "DMCA") and international copyright treaties.

2. Authorized Sourcing Policy

Every interactive game cataloged on https://shishaware.org is sourced strictly under one of two transparent channels:

  • Dedicated Edge & Open-Source Software: Self-hosted lightweight engines running directly on our edge servers or sourced from public open-source repositories governed by permissive licenses (MIT, Apache 2.0, BSD, Creative Commons) with explicit developer attribution and source links published on each game page.

Zero Tolerance for Piracy: ShishaWare Games strictly prohibits cracked commercial binaries, pirated console ROMs, and unauthorized game modifications.
