Question about copyright laws
-
I just have a quick question about designing a ride sharing app. When you program an app how close to the copyright laws can you get. I know Uber's algorithms have copyrights and so do Lyft's. So how hard is it to program a ride sharing app without getting sued. Has anyone encountered this? I guess I would have to hire a copyright attorney. Any advice would be great.

the first thing to do is to contact your legal attorney, then you find a way of incorporating the information provided by your attorney into the app.

The chance of you duplicating their systems and violating copyright laws is near zero, unless you own some of their code. It's also not like you're not allowed to use a for-loop since it occurs in their code.

Hi Eddy, So are you telling me that if I duplicate an app in my own code then I have nothing to worry about. Meaning I just do the design in a similar way. I'm assuming that is exactly what Lyft did to Uber. Am I correct in thinking this way?

Not just the app, but everything, including graphics for the buttons. Then no, you don't have to worry. Swap your idea with other software, and ask the question again; someone built a [database server|chat application|space game] and you want to build one too. Copyright means you're not allowed to sell their code as if it is yours, doesn't mean you're not allowed to build games.
