Ha Ha smart fellow must have taken the git a while to download all the maps. bet he has some of my mods and maps on that thing


kill the clever c**t




lol

Not cool.

If you wanted to, I think you could report this to ebay and have it removed for copyright infringement. Remember, he is selling something that he didn't create and profiting from something that is not his.

I don't think this is legal.

I can't be certain (since it's german), but it looks like there are no bids for this. not surprising.

I have reported it to Ebay immediately....

We will see what happen .....

ha ha ha your wrong foyleman i dont speak german but luckily im not american so i could figure out that

a) he has sold 2 of these on that listing

b) he sells custom stuff for alot of games so he must make some money from our creations

look at his shop its like modsonline on CD

ha ha

i wouldnt report him coz who cares if ppl are stupid enougth to pay him for them, after all he has had to put the effort in making the disks and listing the adverts

even so...

Sharpshot, I have to respectfully disagree with your logic. By your thinking all piracy would be ok because, after all, I'm using my own PC to do the copying and taking my own personal time and effort to benefit from something someone owns or has created.

That said, the question would be if all the works distributed on the CD had been released to the public domain. It's certainly questionable.

I agree with foyleman, this is just some cheap guy, I cant believe that is even legal. But he does have a nice shop lol, but not right

PS like qrz people spend so much time making mods and maps for fun and other peoples enjoyment. Im sure they dont think that other people will sell there maps and mods for money. Wise advice any time of you make maps/mods put a copyright on there, take that guy to court

There's probably some loop hole to it, like he gives due credit to the creators somewhere on the disc.

He could claim you're paying for the CD/DVD and labor of gathering all the mods/maps onto it, not for the actual content.

I must say, the case looks well done, so does the CD/DVD.

Well he does have this little bit of fine print:



That basically says right there that he's not selling the content of the disks. So technically he's giving it away for free, but you pay for the media. I'm not sure if that's morally right but I don't think he's technically doing anything wrong.
