manzilla 1 Posted September 6, 2007 I didn't really want to say anything because people have already caught his error. Whether it's on purpose or not, I'm not gonna speculate. Although one thing that would be nice to see is if he would change his first post. After all this it still says he made the model. So whether or not he understands his error is yet to be seen. From the way it looks as of now it doesn't look as if there has been any effort to show the community that he understands. As far as pointing to the fact that models and textures were stolen from OFP, honestly what does that have to do with this thread? Because people have done it in the past does that make this instance ok? Besides, this is the ArmA area of the forums. When someone doesn't apologize if it was done purposely or explain that it was a simple mistake but instead keeps pointing to examples of plagerism in different games, it kind of shows they don't understand what's going on. Ok, so people rip off stuff in other games. We all know that. If you go to the OFP threads you will see countless times people get called out for it. So what's the point of bringing it up here? Justification? a Diversion? Maybe people jumped on him too hard too early, who knows. One thing seems apparent thus far in the ArmA community. We saw so many thefts of work in OFP, there seems to be a collective effort by people to keep an eye out for that kind of garbage in ArmA. Look at whats happened lately with recent AddOns.... People have tried to pass off work as there own and they got slammed by either the creator or someone with a keen eye. I applaud that. Unlike OFP, the community isn't allowing ripoffs. In my opinion, it should continue. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Justification? a Diversion? as exemple. ofp/arma, i don't see any differences, a theft is a theft. And one comment would have been enough to explain to him; that it is not correct to do that Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
nephilim 0 Posted September 6, 2007 theres a thin line between stealing content and more-or-less legally use them... if you post a mode or texture or whatever, like rabbit did, and say its you addon (etc etc) and DO NOT give credit for whatever piece isnt yours.. thats simply stealing.. if you do give credit and openly say hey i made this model but the texture is from XYZ or vice versa thats ok as long as you dont breach any user agreements which i think rabbit did.. the worst thing he did actually is simply ignoring the original authors user agreements and passing this model as its own. that just hurts people like me or any other addon maker its not that you not allowed to use it, but people put in their sweat and blood into this... i tell ya id hang you by your balls upside down dude.. and now just get lost rabbit, im very sure people here will not tolerate such behaviour..

berghoff 11 Posted September 6, 2007 Plagiarism? I have informed author want to make about with this model that it. But there is that for plagiarism example... I've explained in past that using that texture was a bad decision and a lesson (), so i removed it from the addon over a year ago. And its not very nice to point to different addons also.. simplest thing is to create yer own stuff and learn to improve it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
