08/10/2015 22:51(edited 08/10/2015 22:52)Originally posted by fakanhe is not violating any rights of original mappers
if you modify or porting without asking the author for permission, it is already a violation. (only when the author hasnt stated it, elsewhere)
in this case, he neither asked eiRa or dyle for permission, vice versa he already violated the intellectual property of boths parties by modifiy/porting it to another engine. in this case a DMCA can be filled by boths parties (dyle / eiRa) for removing any downloadinks and screenshots
It would also be a violation:
- porting to another engine
- porting to another game
- modifying it (same engine)
- reworking it (same engine)
- and last but not least: everything which would involve any of the IP of the map
09/10/2015 00:00I approve, kraster, start to pack your clothes you're gonna spend the rest of your days in jail because this is clearly a serious criminal regardless of good intentions. So sad.
I'd say go ahead, keep doing this kraster. It's just good for kzmod to get some more maps.
09/10/2015 00:10So how do you suggest we solve this demolite? If they can't be reached, we shouldn't port anything?
Of course they can request for the removal of all download links, and so on...but they still get the full credit (if the porter is doing that/should do that).
Going "by the book" in this case seems stupid really. But oh well, i suppose just let old maps die in peace along with 1.6.
09/10/2015 02:52well better is to let the maps die in peace, instead of an angry mapper which wasnt asked or havent got the proper credits.
the best thing to do is to create something on its own from the concept of a map.
That is stupid, port the shit out of them 1.6 maps.
What the fuck demolite, do you really think mappers get mad when there maps get ported to another game/engine?!
I think they should be/are proud, because people like to play their maps so much that they even take the time to port it (not just a simple port, a complete redesign)..
So keep up porting, 99% of the mappers dont get mad I'm sure!
And always remember you can put more courses in one map, so it's maybe a cooler idea to port 4-5 small maps into 1 big map :)
09/10/2015 10:55kz_man_lost_island would be epic 4 me q:D
09/10/2015 20:59@ Z0ck3rOO7 its all about intellectual propert and so by modifing or porting permission needs to be granted otherwise it is a violation.
09/10/2015 22:02(edited 09/10/2015 22:05)Stupidest shit I've heard in my life coming from you demolite. You ask for permissions if ur making a kz-movie too? You ask for permissions to use textures too? "intellectual property" give me a fucking break
p.s also take down every map that was influenced by pictures from google/Wikipedia.. wait is that pretty much every map..? "intellectual property" haha..
09/10/2015 22:44If we look strictly to intellectual property and all that copyright stuff, we would have to remove most of the maps. Starting from, at first glance, insignificant things such as fonts they use for texts in theirs maps and ending with textures, models, sounds and etc. that mappers use without permissions. So I don't reckon XJ is place where the rights of creators are safe.
and i say/post it again .."even soulfather goes mad if someone portet his map(s) without his permission..."
10/10/2015 00:16Everyone handles things differently. He is just about to convert maps to another game without taking credit for the original maps, which is perfectly fine in my world. It only contributes to a, lets face it here, dying community.
My maps, models and texures have been used in css, cs:go many times without permission or even crediting. Do i give a crap? No! I honestly do not even see a reason why tho. It helped creating another map for a game we like. Like someone said before, no money involved, just creating shit for us to play on.
<3 Moxx! :D Thought you are done? :D (I cant stay away fully for myself tho man)
13/10/2016 01:55late to the party but I agree. It's not really a big deal. Remake all you want!
Stop spilling your shit dEMolite,you sound stupid.
13/10/2016 12:56atleast give credits in the map and the author will be happy too.. even if u dont no one cares and no one will report anything.
