Well, to me if I don't lose anything then I am fine. Any work I contributed towards SHIII/IV, to me, is not really worth any money and I can't realistically see myself asking for any for it. I'd rather the community benefit from it than cause headaches for Ubi and make them cease publishing simulations altogether. And I definitely don't see my rights to some ridiculously stupid profit as being more important than having a healthy community and a subsim to play.

I don't do programming for a living, I do other things. If I did everything for a living, my participation in the community would be a gloomy and boring affair. As far as X-1, I've always been a relative moderate on the issue, though I took particular pleasure in helping embarass them. They may have made money, but you're showing a perfect example of how a moral victory over them has been won. For all else - I'm sure their wrongdoing will one day come back to them with interest. You could say I believe in karma.

I understand that you do things for the community CCIP, but that isn't the point. The point is that if others are making a profit from your work you should make a profit, however small, also. That is also the point of all IP laws.

The way things seem to be going, before too much longer the world we live in will be a very dull shade of grey, with no initiative or invention, ideas or anything 'new' and every time you pass wind you'll have to swipe your cash card/personal tracker for the benefit of some biotechnology company who've licensed farts.
