Arbaces....what can you do if someone steals your work and passes it off as their own.... simple. NEVER release another mod for the community. Bad mouth the thieving scumbag in every forum everywhere, an generally make his life a spam infested hell....

Basically, a community of modders only works when people respect the intellectual property of the maker. What was discussed was how the wishes of the mod maker could best be respected, even when that person was not dirctly contactable.

There is a fine line between 'sharing' resources, and someone deciding that the units I made are theirs to 'share' wherever they like. However they like. In whatever messed up form they like.

Don;t you think the guys who put in all that hard work should havesome say in what happens to their work? Or do ou believe that 'community' is all about people taking the hard work of othes without even basic levels of respect?

We are trying to establish some framework whereby modders can make it clear what they want to happen to their work. If that can't be respected, why should any of us make anything for the community ... we could just keep it on our hard drives to enjoy purely because we don;t trust the community to respect our work.

There have been confusions in the past....conflicts...unpleasantness. This should mean it never happens again by accident...
