after reading some other posts i found this and i feel like this is a valid post here also.
The more I think on the city mod the more I wonder, is this really worth bothering ourselves over.
Lets face it, we'd rather be tinkering in our workshops that dealing with this mess. If these communities want to sell stolen assets from other games fine, that is their and the IP owners business, we can notify the owners but there is no point in pursuing it further really. We do nothing but waste our own time in hunting down evidence for all the stolen content everyone has ever done...here on our own little forums with explicit rules it is different, but going out there to actively hunt down mods is another thing.
Fact is people who take content from other games are as old as OFP itself, its going to happen wether we like it or not, and it is not our duty to waste our time confronting them with it.
This all started because of Arma 3 life but I have to wonder what the agenda REALLY is, why is A3life getting such a huge response when something like this is more "meh" and its simple.
It is the same reason we go on manhunts for people that take the works of others without any credit on these forums, because its the same thing...they took content without bothering to ask, something as simple as a quick PM that could have stopped all of this from the start. It exploded, content multiplied, so many of us began to feel uncomfortable or threatened.
There is nothing wrong with wanting to defend your work regardless of what nick names you will be called for it, regardless of it being released on the internet, but this does not fall into that case, Asylum and CL3 may have questionable systems set up via their donations. However, if BI says its alright then fine, technicly they have said the same about A3L right now but we still press on, why? Clearly there is more to it than simple "monetization", wether we care to admit it or not.
