I wasn't suggesting otherwise, my only point was that kyro was claiming ownership on their mod, when there is no actually ownership of property in the situation of modding. Like how I sarcastically stated, 'You can't Mod a Mod.' Well why not? That seems to be anti-conductive of the purpose of mod, which is to change, make better or add new elements to the retail version of game. So modding a mod is the same thing, if developers like SD encourage, allow and provide assistance for modding, which modders apperciate right? Then how can a modders then try and make claim and ownership of NOT modding their mod, when they were given the go-ahead by the developers of the game to begin with. Seems contradictive and hypocritical to me.
seconded.
if you don't want people to "steal" your work, don't realease it to the public. if you want your content to be yours; put copyrights on it. Of course you cannot do that when its STAR TREK or STAR WARS content since it was never yours in the first place.
And I don't recall giving permission or even being contacted by you regarding the Star Wars Logos I created a while back
Unless you are Lucas.
I am a modder also. I release mods to the public and have no thoughts they won't be used, in some way, by someone else. if you made a great mod and it is getting used by many other people, you should be happy that that many people consider it good enough to use. if you made a crappy mod or took years developing it in secret so no one could steal it, then you should have no worries about someone taking your content.
btw, I do credit other modders in my mods, but that doesn't stop me from using bad ass content.
